Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and New York wage and hour laws, one of the exemptions used when classifying an employee as an exempt vs. non-exempt employee is the executive exemption.
An experienced wage and hour and FLSA attorney can help you determine whether the executive exemption applies to you (or whether another exemption, such as the administrative exemption or professional exemption, applies to you), or whether you are properly classified as an exempt employee.
The employee’s primary duties must involve managing the enterprise or a customarily recognized department or subdivision.
The employee must customarily and regularly direct the work of at least two or more other full-time employees or their equivalent.
The employee has the authority to hire or fire, or the employee’s recommendations as to hiring, firing, promotion or any other change of employment status are given substantial weight.
