HR Disciplines California Overtime Violations FAQ - what does exemption or being exempt mean?

HR-Consultant 2012.07.07 22:22 Views : 732

What does "exemption" or being "exempt" mean?

An "exemption" means that the overtime law does not apply to a particular classification of employees--those employees considered "exempt" from overtime pay--and there are a number of exemptions from the overtime law. To be exempt, your job description must meet certain criteria; many employees, such as computer programmers, are misclassified as exempt and therefore are owed overtime pay.
