Avoid Overtime Pitfalls: Exempt vs Nonexempt Employees Explained

Speaking with Steph

Hi! I’m Stephanie Rodin, host of the Speaking with Steph podcast. In this episode, I want to speak to you about the difference between what's considered an exempt employee versus a nonexempt employee.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The key differences between exempt and nonexempt employees, mainly based on their eligibility for overtime pay and the type of work they perform.

• Classification depends not just on whether employees are salaried or hourly, but also on their job duties.

• Review contracts to clarify whether a position is exempt or nonexempt and outline expectations for hours and overtime approval.

• Why understanding and correctly classifying employees matters.

• Employers should consult with attorneys and CPAs when unsure about employee classification or pay structure.
