Pero dependiendo de sus obligaciones laborales y de cu\u00e1nto gana, podr\u00eda tener derecho a recibir un pago adicional por las horas que trabaja m\u00e1s de 40 por semana.<\/p>\n<p><b>Empleados asalariados y horas extras<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Si tiene derecho a recibir horas extras o no depende de c\u00f3mo est\u00e9 clasificado. Algunos empleados est\u00e1n clasificados como \u201cno exentos\u201d, lo que significa que tienen derecho a recibir horas extras, que equivalen a 1,5 veces su salario por hora normal, por cualquier hora trabajada m\u00e1s de 40 cada semana. Los empleados que est\u00e1n clasificados como \u201cexentos\u201d no tienen derecho a horas extras.<\/p>\n<p>La clasificaci\u00f3n de un empleado se determina por una compleja red de leyes federales y estatales, y muchos empleadores clasifican err\u00f3neamente a los empleados como exentos (a veces de forma intencionada). Como resultado, a los empleados clasificados err\u00f3neamente se les niega el pago de horas extras a las que tienen derecho legalmente.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00bfQui\u00e9nes est\u00e1n exentos?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Los empleados con contrato laboral que desempe\u00f1an determinadas funciones, como las de ejecutivos, administrativas, profesionales y ventas externas, pueden ser considerados exentos si su salario supera un determinado monto y si sus obligaciones laborales cumplen ciertos criterios.<\/p>\n<p>Umbrales salariales<\/p>\n<p>En Nueva York, Long Island y el condado de Westchester, los empleados deben ganar un salario de al menos $1,125 semanales, o $58,500 anuales, para estar exentos de horas extras. Por lo tanto, si trabaja en estas regiones y gana menos de $1,125 por semana, tiene derecho a horas extras independientemente de su descripci\u00f3n de trabajo.<\/p>\n<p>En otros lugares del estado de Nueva York, el umbral m\u00ednimo es de 990 d\u00f3lares por semana (o 51.480 d\u00f3lares al a\u00f1o). En Nueva Jersey, tambi\u00e9n se otorgan horas extras si el salario es inferior a 684 d\u00f3lares semanales (35.568 d\u00f3lares al a\u00f1o), lo que refleja el umbral m\u00ednimo impuesto por la ley federal.<\/p>\n<p>Prueba de obligaciones laborales<\/p>\n<p>Incluso si gana m\u00e1s que el umbral salarial m\u00ednimo de la regi\u00f3n donde trabaja, a\u00fan puede tener derecho a un pago por horas extras, dependiendo de la naturaleza de sus obligaciones laborales. Si las obligaciones laborales principales no cumplen con las excepciones mencionadas a continuaci\u00f3n, es muy probable que tenga derecho a un pago por horas extras.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Para calificar para la exenci\u00f3n ejecutiva, sus obligaciones principales generalmente deben consistir en administrar la empresa, o un departamento o divisi\u00f3n de ella. Debe dirigir el trabajo de al menos dos empleados a tiempo completo y tener la capacidad de influir en la contrataci\u00f3n y despido.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Para optar a la exenci\u00f3n administrativa, sus funciones principales deben consistir en realizar trabajos administrativos o no manuales relacionados directamente con la gesti\u00f3n o las operaciones generales de la empresa, y su puesto debe permitirle ejercer discreci\u00f3n y sentencia independiente en asuntos de importancia para la empresa.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Para obtener la exenci\u00f3n profesional, sus obligaciones primarias deben consistir en realizar trabajos que requieran conocimientos avanzados en un campo cient\u00edfico o en un \u00e1rea de aprendizaje que se adquiere habitualmente mediante un estudio prolongado y especializado, como ocurre con los m\u00e9dicos y los abogados.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Los requisitos para el desempe\u00f1o de las funciones laborales son variados, con \u00e1reas grises que pueden ser interpretadas de manera diferente. A menudo surgen disputas sobre la interpretaci\u00f3n de qu\u00e9 constituye una \u201cfunci\u00f3n principal\u201d, qu\u00e9 se considera \u201cdiscrecionalidad y sentencia independiente\u201d y otras cuestiones. La correcta clasificaci\u00f3n de un empleado suele ser una cuesti\u00f3n espec\u00edfica de hecho que debe determinarse a partir de un an\u00e1lisis detallado de las funciones laborales de la persona. Un abogado laboral experimentados puede ayudarle a determinar su correcta clasificaci\u00f3n.
