Is there an exemption for schools and institutions of higher education from either the FLSA or the Department's overtime regulations governing white collar workers?
Answer / Yashwant Kumar
Yes, educational institutions (including public and private schools and institutions of higher learning) are generally exempt from both the FLSA and the Department's overtime regulations if they meet certain criteria such as primarily providing instructional services in a regularly-scheduled educational program. However, non-teaching employees may still be subject to overtime pay.
