What is meant when a job is called either non-exempt or exempt?
When a job is classified as non-exempt, all provisions of the FLSA apply to the job. This includes paying employees at least the minimum federal wage for every hour worked and paying one and one-half times the regular wage for every hour worked over 40 hours in a workweek. Additionally, records about the dates and times when the employee works must be maintained. Other provisions of the FLSA, such as child labor, cover the job where applicable.
