    Default Possible Non-Exempt Employee Not Being Paid Overtime

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Michigan

    Hello

    My mother has been working for a company for the past 2.5 months as an administrative assistant. For the past 6 weeks she has worked over 50 hours each week, however she is not receiving any overtime pay.

    She is salaried, however her duties do not involve the running of the office environment. She helps prepare benefits paperwork and only serves as a backup to answer phones.

    Her employee handbook states that all salaried employees are exempt from overtime...however, I feel that this handbook is incorrect and they are circumventing Michigan law.

    Is she non-exempt?

    Thanks for your help!

    She sounds nonexempt to me. She can either address this internally ("HR/boss, what FLSA classification are you using to justify exempt status for this position?") or file a claim with the state Dept. of Labor.
