Employer Resource Institute Audio Conference

The administrative exemption to overtime regulations set forth under California and federal law is probably the most misunderstood of all the exemptions. That's because it requires a worker to regularly exercise discretion and independent judgment, which, arguably, every good employee possesses and uses.
But the true test isn't whether a worker possesses those traits. Instead, accurately answering the question hinges on whether a worker uses them in instances above and beyond the basic job duties and responsibilities. Sound tricky? It is. That's why sometimes it's so hard to tell who really falls under this exception.
Join us on Dec. 2 for an in-depth audio conference all about the requirements of the administrative exemption, including thorny areas that could cause you grief. Our experts—both experienced California employment law attorneys—will cover:
- The most common mistakes California employers make when classifying administrative employees for overtime purposes—and how you can avoid repeating them
- What "discretion and independent judgment" really means, in plain English, and why it's different than the typical administrative employee's basic job skills
- How to review your administrative job classifications and descriptions in search of any red flags that could mean classification problems
- The recordkeeping techniques you can use to defend your overtime exemptions for administrative employees
- The safest ways to fix overtime exemption errors—without triggering DLSE audits and employee claims
- Why—and how—you should regularly audit your administrative exempt classifications
