Title: Computer Services Personnel: Overtime Pay Under the Fair Labor Standards Act
Authors: William G. Whittaker, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) permits special minimum wage and overtime pay treatment of certain employees classified as "executive, administrative, or professional." Through three decades, the Department of Labor and, later, the Congress have considered whether certain computer services personnel should be exempt from the Act's requirements-either as professionals or on any other basis. This report sketches the evolution of these initiatives and legislative activity.
