looking for laws on overtime for salary people.Im a forman of a company that has three formans,a service manager.We are mandated to clock in &out at the end of the day .I work a average of 9-10 hours a day sometimes more.
Dont get paid any overtime we got personal days off before to kinda offset the time but know the whole company gets them too no benifets now.
Question now during the hoildays the desided to shut down for mon-tues for both christmas& New Years without paying full 40 hrs a week is that right!

"Salary" is just a payment method. Are you salaried exempt or salaried non-exempt? It makes a difference to the answer.

what is the classifaction for both i went to the examples. I dont met all the examples of exempt.But what is the fine line to decide if you are or not .

Whether you are an exempt employee depends not so much on job title but actual duties performed.

Here is a link to employees who are exempt from overtime pay, get a guaranteed weekly salary & can have their salary docked only in very limited circumstances:

"Service Manager" is a term used most often in auto dealerships' service departments. Do you happen to work for one? There's a reason I'm asking.

no i work in a equiment dealership. My title is forman and yes there is a service manager thanks

So, are you still confused? If so, tell us exactly what your duties are.
