The following flowchart is designed as an internal guide to assist managers in making a preliminary assessment of whether a job position may qualify for exempt status under the FLSA. This document is only designed to be a tool to assist in the implementation of new job positions. This flowchart does not take applicable state law into account which may impact the exemption analysis.
The following is a checklist of common policies appearing in employee handbooks. Please note that the checklist is overly inclusive and that not every policy listed within should necessarily be contained in a particular employee handbook. (That being said, the checklist also does not include every possible policy that could potentially be included in an employee handbook.) Policies included in an employee handbook vary by the employer’s preferences, size, workforce, states (and municipalities) of employment, and type of industry or business.
