The FLSA provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for employees employed as bona fide
executive,
administrative,
professional, and
outside sales employees. It also exempts certain
computer employees. To qualify for exemption, employees generally must meet certain tests regarding their job duties and be paid on a salary basis at not less than $455 per week. Job titles do not determine exempt status. In order for an exemption to apply, an employee's specific job duties and salary must meet all the requirements of the Department's regulations. The FLSA contains other
exemptions which are applicable to specific types of work or to specific types of businesses.
