Determining Exempt versus Non-Exempt Employees (con't)
I made my best data processor the Team Lead. She does the same thing as the rest of the data processors, plus she collects their time cards and turns the computers on in the morning and off at the end of the day. She's exempt because she's now an executive, right?Not quite. In addition to exercising discretion and independent judgment, an employee is an "Exempt Executive" if he/she has duties and responsibilities involving the management of the company, department, or subdivision.
The employee must also customarily and regularly direct the work of two or more employees, have authority and/or influence in the hiring, firing, promotion or other change in status of other employees, and be primarily engaged in those managerial duties. This means that the employee must spend at least 50% of his/her time engaged in exempt duties, or work that is directly related to those duties.
Well, my Data Processor Team Lead should at least qualify for the "Computer Professional" exemption-right? California only recently recognized certain computer professionals as being exempt from overtime pay. In September 2000, California created an overtime exemption for computer professionals, one which is more stringent than the federal standard-and, accordingly, California employers must follow the state standard. Many states do not have such a standard, despite the nation-wide explosion in technology positions!
In California, a computer professional is exempt from overtime pay if he/she is primarily engaged in work that is intellectual or creative, requires the exercise of discretion and independent judgment, and is highly skilled and proficient in the theoretical and practical application of highly specialized information/computer systems analysis, programming, and software engineering. The primary duties of the employee must consist of at least one of the following:
• The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures including consulting with users to determine hardware, software, or system specifications.
