I am a sales manager (salaried) at a department store in Louisiana, and have been putting a lot of extra hours. I have 2 questions.
1) Am I considered an exempt on non-exempt employee under FLSA?
2) During Christmas time, due to heavy business, managers are required to work 6-day weeks between Thanksgiving and the January inventory. We're supposed to get comp days after January. We worked five 6-day week plus did not get any compensation (extra day off with pay or extra paid day) for the 3 holidays recognized by the company (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's day). First, upper management offered us 5 comp days, then agreed to 7.
It seems to me we are owed 8.
What are their legal obligations in this matter?
