If a job's duties do not involve exercising discretion and independent judgment related to management, which classification test is likely not being met?
Answer
The Duties Test
Duties that involve routine clerical tasks rather than exercising discretion and independent judgment related to management or general business operations usually cause a salaried employee to fail the Duties Test and be classified as non-exempt.
