   prohibited · Requirement applies · overtime, exemptions, records

   29 U.S.C. § 207 requires one and one half times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a week. The exemption in 29 CFR Part 541 requires both white collar duties and a salary of at least USD 684 per week.

2. flsa-exempt

   The overtime exemption may apply
