Find out if the job is really exempt. Our easy to follow Overtime Exemption Checklist walks you through each part of the legal definition of an exempt employee, and applies it to the actual job in question. If the job doesn't meet the federal definition of an exempt employee, the employee is entitled to overtime pay. We then give information about how to file a claim with the U. S. Department of Labor. If the job isn't covered by federal law, we also show you how to contact your state s agency for handling overtime exemptions.
Some states have different rules that are more favorable to the employee.
For example, computer professionals may be exempt under federal but not California law. The Checklist was written by Rita Risser , a California attorney since 1979 who has been quoted extensively in HRMagazine as an expert on exemptions to overtime law. As soon as you submit your credit card, you'll immediately receive access to the Checklist. And if you think it was a waste of time and effort, we have a full money back guarantee.
