Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Re: Overtime pay?

Unless an employee meets one of the statutory "exemptions," the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires most employers to pay overtime for all hours worked in excess of 40 in a work week. An employee is not exempt simply because he/she is paid a salary. There is a complex set of regulations that interpret the FLSA exemptions. Generally, an employee must be paid on a salary basis at least $455 per week, and must perform exempt job duties.
