The FLSA provides that a state or political subdivision thereof is responsible as an employer for compliance with FLSA in regard to all of its employees in connection with the operation of such an institution carrying out its mission of providing education. This is true even through the employee may be part of a central administrative or servicing staff or otherwise employed at a location away from the premises where the classes are conducted, so long as the employees are employed in the statutory enterprise. Whether an employee is exempt depends on his or her duties, responsibilities, and salary. Title alone does not make an employee exempt. Customarily and regularly directs two or more other employees.
Primary duty includes work requiring the exercise of discretion and independent judgment.
