I signed the contract yesterday and it says there that I am an exempt employee though I am not part of the managerial, I am not a supervisor. It is stated there my position and followed by "an exempt position". This position is for regular post and the salary is monthly basis.

I asked the HR why it is an exempt position, first answer is that it was the instruction given to her. I asked again and she answered that they have a bracketing in salary and I was already in the bracket of supervisor and other managerial positions.

Is this Legal? Can they really base t on my salary?

Thanks

So they told you (verbally or in writing) that you will not receive overtime pay?

They told me that I wont be having night differential pay incase I will work on night.

I ask them that I wont sign it yesterday and sign it on thursday but they told me that I cannot start unless I signed it yesterday. So, I already signed the contract.

Are you required to work at night? Or have variable working hours?

Not sure but they said that I will be on a shifting schedule and it is possible for me to work at night.

Generally the provisions on night shift differential apply to all employees except:

• government employees
  
  employees of retail and service establishments regularly employing not more than 5 workers
  
  domestic helpers and persons in the personal service of another
  
  managerial employees
  
  field personnel and those whose time and performance are unsupervised by the employer
  

The HR said I was consider a supervisor level. But it was not written in the contract.

It might be possible to be in a supervisory level but not be a supervisor in position.
