Exempt to Hourly Laws

System

I have a team leader/supervisor that has taken a position as Admin. Asst., should this person be changed to an hourly employee since she no longer supervises other employees or has management responsibilities?

Almost every AA will be classified as nonexempt and should be paid for their hours worked including overtime. The only AA I ever knew to be exempt from overtime was at the executive level (president) with major responsibility and authority.

I agree with BSA. The exempt or non-exempt status never automatically follows the employee who changes jobs. Its determined solely by the content and duties of the newly assigned job. Our only Admin Asst is exempt; but, she works directly for the CEO/Chairman and has multiple discretionary, decision making jobs and regularly carries out direct business objectives when he's here and in his absence.
