[Histonet] Salary exempt/nonexempt status
Can someone please help me, I've been losing sleep over this ever since moving to CA and working here. If you are paid a salary but NOT a supervisor or manager are you considered exempt or nonexempt? I was told by someone that if you are salary but not in a managerial position you are considered nonexempt and are entitled to earn OT. I have tried searching the laws in CA and the only thing I could find is: 1. If you earn twice the wage of minimum wage you are exempt. 2. If you are a type of professional (doctors and lawyers etc) or in a managerial position you are exempt With that being said, I believe a lot of people in the U.S with other professions make twice the wage of #1, so does that mean they are all exempt? Please help me answer this question! Thank you in advance! Sent from my iPhone ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
RE: [Histonet] Salary exempt/nonexempt status
I fought this very same battle having been salaried for many years and gradually working more and more OT. I worked solely with hourly employees and was not a manager or supervisor. Everyone I worked with accrued OT pay but I did not and I was usually working the most OT. I contacted our state office of labor and workforce development and learned about the exempt/nonexempt statuses. Upon bringing this information to both my institution's personnel department and eventually my manager, they reviewed my position description along with several other employees. They resolved the issue by making me and some other people hourly with no cut in pay so now I still work some overtime but accrue OT pay. I also received back pay from 2 years of overtime. Maybe CA has a labor department that could help you as well. Good luck, Linda A.

Re: [Histonet] Salary exempt/nonexempt status
Are you paid a. by the hour or was your pay quoted to you by b. yearly salary? C. Do you fill out a time card to record your hours? If A and C are yes, you are non exempt. Your human resource department should have the answer. If you don't have an HR dept and you cant ask your boss to clarify, then you have a crummy relationship with your boss, and should look for a better job.

Re: [Histonet] Salary exempt/nonexempt status
hings are usually different in CA but in FL this is more or less as it works:1- if you are Supervisor or Manager, even when you have to clock in/out no matter how many ours extra you work, you do not get paid overtime over your salary.2- if you are bench worker you clock in/out and IF you work more than 40 hours week the difference = overtime if you work less than 40 hours week = your are paid for the worked hours. Even if you some days work 8 hours you may be scheduled to work 8 hours some other days to compensate.I remember that when I retired I calculated that I had worked in excess of 3 YEARS unpaid because I was manager (life is tough!)René J.
