Hewitt, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a daily-rate worker who earned more than $200,000 annually was not exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) overtime requirements. In an opinion authored by Justice Elena Kagan, the Court held that compensation based on a daily rate did not satisfy the “salary basis test,” which is required for an employee to be exempt from overtime compensation.
