Description
Congress enacted the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, Pub. L. No. 75-718, 52 Stat. 1060 (codified as amended at 29 U.S.C. ร§ร§ 201 et seq.), "to compensate those who labored in excess of the statutory maximum number of hours for the wear and tear of extra work," Bay Ridge Operating Co. v. Aaron, 334 U.S. 446, 460 (1948). Consistent with this goal, the Act "requires employers to pay their employees time-and-a-half for work performed in excess of forty hours per week," Schaefer v. Ind. Mich. Power Co., 358 F.3d 394, 399 (6th Cir. 2004), but "exempts bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employees from [the] overtime pay requirements," Auer v. Robbins, 519 U.S. 452, 454 (1997) (quoting 29 U.S.C. ร§ 213(a)(1)). "Under regulations promulgated by the Secretary [of Labor], one requirement for exempt status under ร§ 213(a)(1) is that the employee earn a specified minimum amount on a salary basis." Auer, 519 U.S. at 455.
