Exempt Position

It is a type of employment classification that is exempt from certain provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), such as minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. Exempt employees are typically salaried and are expected to perform managerial, professional, or administrative duties that require a high degree of discretion and independent judgment. Examples of exempt positions include executives, managers, professionals, and outside sales representatives. However, simply being salaried does not automatically make an employee exempt; the job duties and responsibilities must also meet certain criteria established by the FLSA.
