The shop

A badge that says outside sales is not the week away from the shop

You feel it when payroll asks who is in the field and the only answer is a job title. What is the outside sales exemption, in the field, is the job: selling away from the employer's place. A week on the shop floor is a different job. Knockdesk does not decide the exemption. The law page holds the longer reading.

  • The job

    Selling away from the employer's place. A title on a badge is not that job.

  • The pin

    The visit still has to land. A deal with no door is a chat, not the week.

  • Not counsel

Ten people

Seven away from the shop, three on the floor, zero rulings

A crew of 10. Seven spend the week at the customer's place. Three spend the week on the employer's floor. 7 / 10 is 70 percent away from the shop. 3 / 10 is 30 percent on the floor. The numbers name where the week happened, not who is exempt. The 7 still need a deal on the pin.

Recompute the 10. The split is the week, not a legal test.
