Can customer service reps be considered exempt employees?
Q. We are an independent insurance agency. All of our employees are on  salary or salary plus commission. A number of the salaried employees are  customer service reps. They process renewals, cancellations, claims,  etc. They are licensed by the state and are required to get CPE credits  to keep their licenses. Is this enough of a case to make them exempt  employees? We do occasionally make pay adjustments based on an hourly  rate, i.e. unpaid time off and overtime for extra time worked. – KSL,  Wisconsin
