FLSA
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) through the Department of Labor (DOL) establishes minimum wage and overtime pay regulations, defines exempt (salary) and non-exempt (hourly) status based on criteria, and sets salary thresholds for exempt positions. The last change made to the salary thresholds was in 2016.
In summary, regardless of job title, employees must meet both the duties test and the salary test to qualify for an exemption. Otherwise, they are non-exempt and eligible for overtime (OT).
