Heading: Relative Freedom From Supervision

Text: 43 That the Baldwins were free from daily supervision by Trailer Inns, Inc. weighs heavily in favor of the exemption. Kramer visited the park once or twice a month, and there was no constant oversight from Trailer Inns, Inc. The Baldwins had to adhere to company policies, record completed tasks on checklists, and were subject to performance reviews conducted through a monthly inspection by Trailer Inns, Inc. However, in practice, the oversight was neither so rigorous nor so frequent as to undermine the undeniable fact that the Baldwins were substantially free from supervision, and the existence of checklists to monitor their work does not alter our conclusion. See Burger King I, 672 F.2d at 223, 226 (concluding that assistant managers whose tasks weregoverned by highly detailed, step-by-step instructions contained in the company manual that admit of little or no variation had management as their primary duty). 44
