This page is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice regarding federal and State of Illinois overtime laws.
Employers who dodge their responsibility to pay overtime to their workers often give their employees titles of “manager” or “assistant manager.” These titles mean nothing unless the employee is really a manager (‘executive’) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) or Illinois overtime laws. The definition of manager is a bit complicated but generally speaking an employee with the title of manager is exempt from overtime only if he or she is paid on a salary basis and (1) regularly supervises two or more other employees, (2) management is the primary duty of the position, and (3) is responsible for hiring, firing, promotions, or assignments.
