Exempt Employee Wages Texas

There are certain categories of employees who are exempt from the FLSA’s requirements on overtime and minimum wage in Texas including Dallas, Houston and Austin. Whether or not an employee is exempt is based on fact: what the employee does; whether or not the employee is a supervisor; how frequently he or she is paid; how much manual or non-manual work is performed; to what extent does the employee implement independent judgment and discretion; does the employee’s decisions affect the employer’s operations. For employers, there are extensive legal consequences in implementing the exempt status for certain employees. Therefore, employers should carefully research a particular job category before designating an employee to be exempt.
