Do managers have to be paid overtime?

Some managers have to be paid overtime, some do not; it depends on their duties. To be exempt as an executive, which some managers are exempt from the overtime wage requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, there have to be certain duties met, as well as the person has to be paid on a salary basis. Sometimes, managers are misclassified as managers when they’re really primarily workers or employees doing regular work and their duties are not primarily managerial or executive. Sometimes those employees can be required by law to be paid overtime.
