If you are an exempt employee, you will not be required to track your time and will still use Self Service Banner for leave purposes. #### How do I know if I am an exempt or non-exempt employee? To be exempt from earning overtime under FLSA regulations, employees must meet a three-prong test: 1. Must be paid on a salary basis. 2. Must earn a minimum of $35,568 annually. 3. Must meet the test for executive, professional or administrative duties. Employees who do not meet the three-prong test will be non-exempt and eligible to earn overtime.
