But the government tests for exempt and non-exempt are not about title - they examine what the employee actually does:
“These FLSA exemptions are limited to employees who perform relatively high-level work. Whether the duties of a particular job qualify as exempt depends on what they are. Job titles or position descriptions are of limited usefulness in this determination. (A secretary is still a secretary even if s/he is called an “administrative assistant,” and the chief executive officer is still the CEO even if s/he is called a janitor.) It is the actual job tasks that must be evaluated, along with how the particular job tasks “fit” into the employer’s overall operations.”
That’s the Fair Labor Standards Act talking. Of course, employer may give BS titles and hope they don’t get caught.
Exactly so
