This episode of Big Blend Radio's California Employment Law Podcast, featuring San Diego attorney Ward Heinrichs, observes National Administrative Professionals Day and Administrative Professionals Week by diving into a crucial workplace topic: Are You an Administratively Exempt Employee?


Exempt employees are typically those who receive a minimum required salary and perform specific duties as defined by state and/or federal law. If both salary and duty requirements are met, employers are generally not obligated to pay overtime or provide meal and rest breaks that are required for non-exempt employees.


Ward breaks down how administrative exemptions work, common pitfalls in employee classification, and how both workers and employers can ensure compliance with California labor laws.
