The Exemption Status field is for informational purposes only. The data in this field is not related to and does not impact timecards or any other feature/function of the product.

Employees whose jobs are governed by the FLSA are either "exempt" or "nonexempt." Nonexempt employees are entitled to overtime pay. Exempt employees are not. Most employees covered by the FLSA are nonexempt. Some are not.

To make these determinations, please reach out to your organization’s HR and/or Legal department, your local Labor Board, or the Department of Labor. Our support team is not in a position to offer guidance on this matter.
