1. “Exempt†employees are not entitled to a minimum wage or overtime under federal and state law.
First, in your own words, identify the three requirements that must be met for an employer to classify an employee as “exempt.†Then, do some research into “misclassification.†Sometimes,
employers misclassify intentionally and sometimes they do so mistakenly. Explain the common
motive employers have when they misclassify intentionally and the common mistake employers
make when they misclassify mistakenly. Finally, what penalties might an employer face for
misclassification?
2. Many hospitality employees in Nevada receive tips as part of their compensation. First, in your
own words, describe the difference between: 1) “tip crediting†and 2) “tip pooling.†Then, tell me
if such actions are lawful in Nevada. Finally, do you agree with the law regarding tips in Nevada?
3. Many hospitality employees in Nevada are asked by their employers to be “on-callâ€for work, meaning there is no guarantee of work, only the possibility of work if the employer calls.There is legitimate debate about whether employees should be compensated for being on “on-call†whether they get called into work or not. Do some research into the debate. Then, tell me what factors a court may consider when faced with the argument that an employer should pay employees who are “on-call.†What factors weigh against paying for “on-call†time? What is your opinion on the subject?
