Exempt vs. Nonexempt Classifier
Answer a few questions about salary and job duties to get a directional read on FLSA exempt vs. nonexempt status.
Leans toward nonexempt — meets the salary threshold, but no exempt-duties factors were checked.
Uses the federal FLSA "white collar" salary threshold ($684/week) as of this writing, plus a simplified duties test — actual classification also depends on specific job duties in detail and can differ under state law. This is a directional self-check, not a legal determination.

Frequently asked questions
Is meeting the salary threshold enough to be exempt?+
No — exemption generally requires both meeting the minimum salary threshold AND satisfying a duties test for an exempt category (executive, administrative, professional, etc.); salary alone isn't sufficient.
