As a salaried employee who is a member of management can I be scheduled more than 8 hours a day and more than 40 hours a week

One of the exceptions to the general rule that an employee must be paid time-and-a-half for all hours worked in excess of 40 under the Fair Labor Standards Act is a "managerial" exception.  If you are paid on a salaried basis (which means that you earn at least $455/week and your salary is not reduced for quality or quantity of work performed), and your position fits the other regulatory requirements of a "managerial" position, then you are not entitled to overtime pay, regardless of the number of hours a week that you work.  However, if you are not paid on a salaried basis, or the actual day-to-day tasks that you perform are not managerial-type duties, then you may have a claim for unpaid overtime on the basis of a misclassification as an exempt employee.  Michael J.
