Overtime (OT) exempt workers are production workers who are not entitled to receive overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or applicable state laws.
This means that OT-exempt workers are paid a regular salary regardless of hours worked.
In Wrapbook, a worker’s OT-exempt status is determined by their worker classification and additional details added to their worker profile.
Non-union workers vs. Union workers
How work days are recorded in timecards for OT-exempt workers depends on the Employee type in the worker profile details. If there are no union affiliations listed, the worker will be considered a non-union worker. If one or more affiliations are listed, the worker will be considered a union worker.
