wage and hour audit
A wage and hour audit is an independent review (typically privileged) that seeks to determine whether, for payroll purposes, the employees of a business are properly classified as either "exempt" (and thus not eligible for overtime pay) or "nonexempt" (and thus eligible for overtime pay).
Additional Information
Wage and hour audits apply the provisions of both the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage and hour laws in making such determinations.
