My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Kentucky
I work as a federal contractor employee, since the elimination of the companies salaried/FSLA exempt Team Leader position the following managerial duties have been delegated down to 6 nonexempt Photographer II, III and IV positions. Providing audio/visual support is our primary duty. From what I understand, according to the Fair Labor Standards Act, these tasks fall under managerial and supervisory duties and as nonexempt employees we are not being fairly compensated for performing these managerial and supervisory duties or are all the following duties fairly assigned to us? Since these duties are shared by the six of us I would say they take up about 30% of our work hours.
-Property Book Management: each nonexempt employee has had to sign a hand receipt for various parts of the company property book and tasked with carrying out monthly hand receipt inventories.
