Commentary	The rules on white-collar exemptions to the FLSA can be tricky. Jobs that you may assume are exempt could fall short of the requirements -- and job titles alone are not sufficient for making the determination. The consequences of misclassification can be costly if you find that overtime pay is owed to workers you incorrectly considered exempt. Plus, the FLSA permits a doubling of the amount owed if liquidated damages are awarded. This system makes the evaluation for overtime eligibility quick, accurate, and consistent.
