Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Re: Working as a salary manager

The federal overtime law requires that overtime compensation be paid to non-exempt employees for all hours worked in excess of Forty (40) per week. As a result, in most industries, overtime is only on a weekly (as opposed to daily) basis in terms of how its calculated. There are certain exemptions from overtime for salaried managers, but the specific duties you perform would have to be considered, so you should consult with an attorney directly to learn what rights you may have.

Re: Working as a salary manager

As a manager, if you meet the criteria for a managerial exemption which requires among other things that you manage at least 2 persons, then you are exempt from the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. If you would like to pursue with more details, please feel free to contact my office and reference your lawguru question.

Re: Working as a salary manager

If you are truly a salaried employee and exempt from the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, your employer can have you work overtime without paying extra. You can check out the requirements as to whether your position is exempt or non-exempt by going to the Department of Labor website. www.dol.gov
