Comments on: Administrative or Professional: that is the question http://www.pseudohr.com/2009/10/24/administrative-or-professional-that-is-the-question/ Because HR can fake it too Mon, 16 May 2011 01:45:05 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: SHRM_PHR_SPHR http://www.pseudohr.com/2009/10/24/administrative-or-professional-that-is-the-question/comment-page-1/#comment-896 SHRM_PHR_SPHR Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:59:29 +0000 http://www.pseudohr.com/?p=382#comment-896 This is really interesting and something I'm sure could be discussed back and forth. Based on the SHRM Learning System description as well as the Department of Labor's description, it seems that HR would typically fall under an administrative exemption because neither certification nor a particular type of academic degree is required for entry into the HR field. However, I think you make a great case for it being a learned professional exemption based on the fact that certification and advanced training is so important. FLSA exemptions are covered in Module 4 of the SHRM Learning System. Definitely a great resource for discussion like this. http://www.shrm.org/Education/educationalproducts/learning/Pages/default.aspx This is really interesting and something I’m sure could be discussed back and forth.
