Do employees who are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act have to clock in and out? It’s a question recently tackled by Bill Pokorny of Franczek Radelet in this blog post.
“The FLSA requires employers to maintain accurate records of the hours worked by non-exempt employees, but not for exempt executive, administrative, or professional employees,” he says. But like most legal questions, the answer isn’t as simple as that. Pokorny explains that some states, such as Illinois, have record-keeping requirements, which means employers there must maintain a log of the hours worked each day in the workweek by nonexempt employees.
