Anyone here ever been moved to a non-exempt position in Customer Marketing?

Sarah Koval July 14, 2023 at 04:58 PM

not while I've been in CM, but I was non-exempt when I was in a sales position, and all of our XDRs & AEs are

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) July 14, 2023 at 05:01 PM

Were there any benefits to it, for you?

Sarah Koval July 14, 2023 at 05:02 PM

uhhhm, not exactly. just that if we worked overtime, we got paid for it, but had to report any overtime to our bosses beforehand

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) July 14, 2023 at 05:03 PM

Yeah, that doesn’t sound better at all. Not exactly worse though. What is the benefit for the company to have people be non-exempt?

Lauren Stefano July 14, 2023 at 05:11 PM

it shouldn't be based on what is better/worse for either you or the company. there are federal rules from the dept of labor about how to classify workers based on things like how much you are paid and what your role is. there are tests that you can apply to a role to figure out which classification it should be. but also a labor/employment lawyer (which i am not!) could tell you more
