Question: Cindy is a saleswoman. Four days a week she is "in the field," making sales calls. A typical work day, Monday through Thursday, begins with her reviewing her schedule at her kitchen table over her morning coffee. She then spends the rest of her days making her calls, returning home in the late afternoon, where she does about an hour's worth of paperwork, submitting orders electronically to the home office. On Fridays, however, she is required to report to the home office, where she attends a mandatory sales meeting and works at her desk the remainder of the day. Is Cindy an outside salesperson who is exempt form the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the FLSA? Does your answer apply to Fridays, too?
