DOL Clarifies Exempt Status Of Paralegals (pdf).

Ogletree Deakins • February 21, 2006
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently issued an opinion letter that examines whether paralegals and legal assistants are exempt from overtime requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Responding to a question posed by a law firm with a staff of six paralegals who perform a variety of tasks, the agency found that “paralegals and legal assistants generally do not qualify for the professional exemption because an advanced specialized academic degree is not a standard prerequisite for entry into the field.”
