Overtime classification can be tricky and confusing. It can be difficult to tell the difference between overtime facts and overtime myths. If you are not sure you know the facts about overtime, check out [our recent white paper](https://compliancehr.com/essential/overtime-myths/), which addresses common myths, including:

- Management jobs are always exempt from overtime pay
- Salaried employees cannot earn overtime pay
- Employees may waive their right to overtime as long as it is in writing
- Employers can offer employees “comp time” in lieu of overtime pay
- And more

Also, be sure to utilize Navigator OT to help you determine the risk of classifying your employees as exempt or non-exempt from overtime. Check out the [Knowledge Center](https://knowledge.compliancehr.com/knowledge/navigator-ot) for tips on using Navigator OT.
