A wholesale food distributor employs night shift “captains” at its warehouses. Captains are paid salaries of $700 per week. Each captain supervises a team of three to six “pickers.” These are employees who retrieve items and load them on trucks for delivery. Captains and their teams report to their assigned work areas in the warehouse. Captains monitor team performance, keep track of attendance, assign tasks to pickers, prepare production reports for each picker, have the authority to discipline and terminate pickers, and make recommendations regarding raises and promotions. Captains are expected to arrive thirty minutes before the pickers and frequently work more than forty hours per week. The company classifies the captains as exempt employees. A group of captains sued under the Fair Labor Standards Act for unpaid overtime work. Are the captains exempt employees? Why or why not?
