Henry is the HR Professional for his organization and he's discussing the status of Amy's employment. Amy earns $87,500 per year and receives a paycheck via direct deposit every two weeks. Amy was hired under the offer of a salary position, but she feels that she is working far more than the agreed 40 hours per week. Based on these scenarios, do you believe Amy is exempt or non-exempt?
Answer option C is correct.
An exempt employee is someone who is paid on a salary basis and earns more than $455 per week. As the question states, Amy was hired under the offer of a salary.
Answer option D is incorrect. While Amy does earn more than $1,000 per week, this doesn't automatically qualify her as exempt.
Answer option B is incorrect. Bonuses do not automatically qualify someone as non-exempt.
Answer option A is incorrect. The question doesn't tell how much additional hours Amy is actually working so this isn't a good choice. The amount of hours a person works doesn't directly affect their exempt or non-exempt status.
