How do Connecticut wage laws determine exempt / nonexempt status for the director of a non profit.

Asked about 3 years ago - Waterbury, CT

We are in process of attempting to hire a director for a senior center. The person will have executive duties with the exception of direct hire / fire responsibility. Will the determination for exempt status be based strictly upon duties or does work schedule also factor in? The employee may find it necessary to work hours outside the normal operation times of the senior center, which is a 25-hour work week. One of the obstacles seems to be determining whether the person hired will work as an exempt employee or a nonexempt employee.

I believe you are referrering to what is known at the "white collar" exemption for executives. To qualify the employee must actually engage in duties that qualify as executive and the employee must be paid on a salary basis. To understand what duites qualify, you can refer to Connecticut Regulations sections 31-60-14, 15, and 16. You can access these regs on the Department of Labor website. http://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/wgwkstnd/faqs-empl....
