EXEMPT MGR

Anita

We have an exempt manager that would like to drive the lift truck (occasionally)on the weekends(keep overtime down)and be paid at an hourly rate. Do you see a problem with this?

At the risk of sounding trite........ I'd encourage the Mgr to do what he/she deems necessary to get the work done. As an exempt employee, there would be no addt'l pay .

Were you to compensate him/her for the extra weekend work it is my opinion that they would not long qualify as an "exempt employee".

I have a different twist for this one! We have a union. If I allowed a salaried person to drive a forklift, I would have grievances out the waaazooooo! but, you could get away with paying him a 'bonus' for extra jobs around the place if you choose to, without a union. I don't really think it would cause an FLSA exception.
