Generally, to be exempt from overtime pay, an employee must receive a salary of at least $455 per week and perform the job duties of an exempt employee. Federal overtime law outlines three main categories of exempt job duties—executive, administrative and professional. Nurses who receive a salary of at least $455 per week and are registered by the appropriate state examining board are typically ineligible to collect overtime pay under the learned professional exemption. Certified nursing assistants, however, generally do not qualify as learned professionals, regardless of training and experience, as they are not required to obtain a specialized, advanced academic degree to enter into their field. Therefore, certified nursing assistants are generally non-exempt employees and should receive time-and-a-half pay when working more than 40 hours a week.
