A contractor pays a jobsite coordinator a fixed weekly salary but the coordinator spends most of the day doing manual labor alongside the crew. Is the coordinator automatically exempt from overtime?

Being paid a salary does not create an overtime exemption. To be exempt, the worker must both meet the minimum salary threshold (at least twice the state minimum wage for full-time work) and primarily perform exempt executive, administrative, or professional duties. A coordinator who spends most of his time doing manual labor fails the duties test and is non-exempt, so daily and weekly overtime rules apply regardless of the salary or title.
