How were Exempt and Non-Exempt designations assigned?
In order to determine whether a position is exempt or non-exempt, each position’s duties is analyzed and put through a salary level test and job duties test as required by the FLSA. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides an exemption (therefore employees are said to be exempt) from the Act’s minimum wage and overtime requirements for any employee working in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity, and for some computer related positions. To qualify for the above mentioned exemptions, an employee must be compensated on a salary basis at a rate of not less than $455 per week ($23,660 annually).

Employees who perform work involving repetitive operations with their hands, requiring physical skill and knowledge usually acquired through apprenticeship and on the job training, not through a prolonged course of specialized intellectual instruction, are non-exempt.
