Welcome to another Listener Q&A with The Team at HR Stories! Today's episode goes into these questions:

  1. Can I, as an exempt employee, work in a non-exempt role at the same company performing a separate job?
  2. We hired someone has a salary exempt employee but after 10 months, his job description changed and reclassified him as non-exempt. Do we need to pay him overtime when he was classified as salary exempt?
  3. Is an anniversary bonus considered discretionary or non-discretionary?
