Manager or salesperson? Overtime exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act

Description

Abstract: Whether an employee should receive overtime pay or is exempt from such compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act is a common employment law dispute. This article looks at a recent case in which this issue was raised yet again. Specifically, an employee whose job title was First Assistant Manager contended that his job duties were really more those of a salesperson who provided clerical assistance. Little v. Belle Tire Distributors, Inc., No. 13-2699, Oct. 23, 2014 (6th Cir.)
