Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Overtime for salaried employee

I am a salaried employee working for a small (6 employees) family owned business in New York. I do not know if I am classified as exempt or non-exempt. A typical work week (M-F) for me is 50-55 hours. There is no time clock or written records of hours worked for any of the employees. Am I legally entitled to any kind of compensation for the hours worked over 40? Also, what is the best way to document my hours worked, outside of keeping a written log?

Thank you,

Chris

Re: Overtime for salaried employee

Chris,

Your classification depends on your duties at work. IF you are either an executive, professional or administrator as defined by the act you are exempt.

You can try to read the act here:

Or Contact a labor lawyer who handles FLSA work.

Good luck.
