Re: Does the owner of my company own me
There is no "limit" on the number of hours an employer asks an employee to work under either Florida or Federal law. I cannot speak for whether other States have "maximum" hour provisions but there none I can recall to my knowledge.
As to your exempt/non-exempt status, it is a fact-specific inquiry that focuses on the nature of your duties, the percentage of time you spend performing those duties, the authority you actually have and apply, and other factors.
Please consult an attorney for a more specific opinion and feel free to contact us in this regard.
