Exemption and Overtime

"Exempt" refers to workers ineligible for overtime pay. The rules about who is exempt change regularly. Many employers improperly catagorize workers as exempt who should receive overtime. 

There are federal and state overtime and minimum wage laws. Because California's laws are more generous, employers and workers should usually focus on California law. Workers performing some types of work are "exempt" from overtime pay and minimum wage laws. Courts usually construe exemptions narrowly and against the employer.  But the types of work exempt from overtime have grown considerably over the past 25 years.
