How should I categorize exemption status for cross-functional employees?

Appropriate exempt/non-exempt classification for employees is important, as it determines whether or not they are eligible for overtime pay in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. Classification is decided by an employee’s ‘primary duties,’ which can vary widely in a small business that requires employees to work on many different tasks at once.
