My employer told me that I am exempt but I don't supervise anyone. How can I determine whether I have been misclassified as exempt?

Your employer should inform you when you are hired whether you are eligible for overtime pay or not, ideally in a written contract along with your job description. If you are concerned that you should be receiving overtime, or that you've been
misclassified as exempt, you can consult the California Department of Labor for more information about the labor laws. You should also ask an experienced wage and hour attorney to evaluate your situation and decide if your employer has violated the state's labor laws.
