Important details about job codes and FLSA\/WMWA compliance<\/i><\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
\n

To be exempt from overtime (OT), a position must (1) be paid a salary, (2) be paid at or above the OT exemption salary threshold, and (3) the duties performed meet one or more of the \u201cduties tests.\u201d All three criteria must be met for a position to be FLSA Exempt.<\/p>\n

Some positions that are typically FLSA Exempt may be FLSA Non-Exempt if the position is paid below the salary threshold and\/or the position does not meet any of the duties tests. Positions hired into an FLSA Non-Exempt job code due to not meeting the salary threshold will be converted to FLSA Exempt if\/when their salary increases above the threshold.<\/p>\n

Job codes in the FLSA Non-Exempt column of the following table have an asterisk if they are restricted to use for typically FLSA Exempt positions that don\u2019t meet the salary threshold. Job codes in the FLSA Non-Exempt column with no asterisk may be used for positions that either do not meet the salary threshold or for those that do not meet a duties test.<\/p>\n
