Does a salaried employee get overtime?

Transcript

​

A salaried employee may or may not be entitled to overtime pay, depending on the type of work they perform for an employer. The designation of salaried employee means that they get paid a fixed rate for all hours worked in a workweek. If a salaried employee doesn't meet one of the exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act to the overtime requirement, a salaried employee would be required to be paid overtime. It's very important to make sure that you review with an attorney who's familiar with the Fair Labor Standards Act to determine if you're classifying your employees correctly, with respect to pay.
