Who Is Exempt from Overtime Pay in Florida? - BT Law Group, PLLC

From BT Law Group, PLLC - Who Is Exempt from Overtime Pay in Florida? explains how the Fair Labor Standards Act determines whether Florida employees are exempt or non-exempt from overtime pay. This episode explores the salary basis requirement, the duties test, the $684-per-week federal salary threshold, and why a job title alone does not decide whether a worker can legally be denied overtime wages.

The discussion breaks down major FLSA exemption categories, including the executive exemption, administrative exemption, professional exemption, computer employee exemption, outside sales exemption, and highly compensated employee exemption. Listeners will hear how roles such as assistant store managers, shift leads, HR assistants, loan processors, underwriting clerks, bookkeepers, customer service leads, IT help desk workers, network administrators, computer programmers, software engineers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and outside sales workers may be evaluated under federal overtime rules.

This episode also covers common warning signs of employee misclassification in Miami and throughout South Florida, including being paid a salary while performing routine tasks, holding a manager or supervisor title without real authority, having pay docked for partial-day absences, or regularly working more than 40 hours without overtime. It explains how the Department of Labor, 29 C.F.R. Part 541, 29 U.S.C. § 207, 29 U.S.C. § 255, 29 U.S.C. § 216, 29 U.S.C. § 260, and 29 U.S.C. § 215 shape overtime rights, back pay, liquidated damages, attorney’s fees and costs, and retaliation protections.
