Exempt and Non-Exempt Employment Status in North Carolina
An employee’s exempt or non-exempt status and the right to receive overtime pay are primarily based on job responsibilities and how they are paid. Factors are whether the employee is paid hourly or on a salary basis and whether they perform administrative or supervisory duties.
Examples of common exempt positions include:
- Administrative
- Executive
- Professional
- Outside salespeople
- Computer-related workers
If you are not doing this type of work and you do not get paid overtime, you may have a claim. An exempt employee cannot be singled out and determined purely based on their job title. Our overtime attorneys can review your situation and help you understand whether or not you are an exempt or non-exempt worker who is entitled to overtime pay.
