Re: Overtime
Churches are not exempt. However it is unlikely a typical church would pass the threshold test for coverage under the FLSA: be an enterprise engaged in commerce with revenues of $500,000 annually, or have employees engaged in commerce.
However, it should be decided on a case by case basis.
