non-exempt employees
Non-exempt employees are workers who are entitled to receive overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This means they must be paid at least the minimum wage and receive additional pay for any hours worked beyond 40 in a week, typically at a rate of time and a half. Non-exempt status generally applies to hourly wage earners and certain positions that do not meet specific criteria for exemption. Understanding this classification is important for both employees and employers when it comes to pay and labor rights.
