Combination Exemption Employees who perform a combination of various types of exempt duties may qualify for exemption if the exempt duties, taken altogether, comprise the employee's primary duty. However, the employee must still be paid at least $455 per week on a salary basis. Highly Compensated Employees An employee who earns $100,000/year is exempt if the employee regularly performs any one or more of the exempt duties or responsibilities of an executive, administrative or professional employee. The employee must meet the salary basis test and be paid at least $455/week on a salary basis. Fringe benefits may not be counted towards the $100,000/year amount. This exemption applies only to employees whose primary duty includes performing office or non- manual work. Therefore, employees who perform physical work such as maintenance workers and laborers do not qualify for this exemption, no matter how much they earn. General Definitions & Guidelines ~'" Customarily and regularly A customary and regular duty is a duty that is performed more often than just occasionally — i.e., normally performed every workweek, not isolated or one-time tasks. � Exempt vs. non-exempt work: Exempt work is the work performed by executive, administrative, professional and computer employees. The definition of exempt work includes "closely related work" that exempt employees perform. An example of "closely related work" is when the Finance director uses computer software to prepare a budget presentation for the Ciry Council. While technically this may be a non-exempt duty, it is closely related to his exempt dury of preparing the budget. By definition, any work that is not exempt work is non-exempt work. Primary duty To qualify for any of the above exemptions, an employee's primary duty must be executive, administrative, professional, or computer work. Primary duty means the principal, main, major or most important duty that an employee performs. Factors to consider include: • What is the relative importance of the exempt duties compared with other types of duties? (If the job exists mainly for the purpose of performing the exempt duties, it is likely to be considered exempt.) • How much time does the employee spend performing exempt work? (Ideally it should be 50% or more of the time but this is not an absolute requirement.) 0
