Split shift, overtime and exempt educators
If an exempt status instructor in an accredited institution is assigned a class from 9 am to 12 pm and on the same day a class from 5 pm to 9 pm, are they supposed to receive any compensation for the hours in-between? Are they due any overtime?

If the instructor is exempt from overtime, he must be paid on a salary, not hourly, basis (as well as meeting the other requirements to be exempt from overtime). If he is paid a salary, his daily salary is his ONLY compensation for all work and all hours during the day; he would not be entitled to anything more.
