APPENDIX A: DETAILED METHODOLOGY DESCRIPTION Existing empirical studies of the Executive, Administrative, and Professional exemptions to the FLSA all use data from the Current Population Survey. 1 This study is the first to use data from the Occupational Employment Statistics for this purpose. The principal advantage of the OES over the CPS is that the OES 1 See citations in the main report. is reported by firms and its primary purpose is to classify workers occupations, whereas the CPS relies on workers to self-report their occupation. A comparison of OES to CPS occupations, both within retail and in general, makes clear that title-inflation is a significant problem in the CPS, with far more workers in supervisory and management occupations according to the CPS than the OES. See Table A1. Table A1: Comparison of CPS and OES occupational classification in retail and restaurants for top 15 exempt occupations. OCCUPATION OES RETAIL & RESTAURANT CPS RETAIL & RESTAURANT First-Line Supervisors of Retail Sales Workers 1,111,040 2,990,619 First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers 691,050 445,635 General and Operations Managers 287,860 191,313 Pharmacists 183,160 167,068 Food Service Managers 149,510 1,005,228 First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers 165,830 96,435 Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks 188,510 182,195 Office Clerks, General 212,280 73,793 Shipping, Receiving, and Traffic Clerks 152,480 158,009 Sales Managers 75,600 128,623 Chefs and Head Cooks 75,200 289,546 First-Line Supervisors of Mechanics, Installers, and Repairers 58,230 32,504 Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive 77,930 126,303 Wholesale and Retail Buyers, Except Farm Products 34,060 77,914 31

The CPS contains two variables directly related to overtime status. The variable PEERNUOT asks do you usually receive overtime pay, tips, or commissions at your job? While it references overtime pay directly, it is not a good indicator of overtime eligibility status. The variable PEERNHRY indicates whether a worker (or other adult member of the household) reports his wage rate hourly or answers yes to the question even though you told me it was easier to report your earnings [fill in previous answer], are you paid at an hourly rate on your [main] job? While it would seem that all nonexempt workers should answer yes to this question, a significant fraction of workers earning under $455 a week answer no. Thus, no question in the CPS provides a solid indicator of exempt status. 2 Because the CPS does not directly address exemption status, and provides unsatisfactory occupational coding, previous researchers have relied on estimates of the fraction of workers in a given CPS-reported occupation who are likely EAP exempt, conditional on earning over $455 a week. 3 These industry multipliers are opaque and generally outdated; thus the OES offers an appealing alternative. Of course, it is not immediately clear that the occupational coding in the OES is more correct for the purposes of identifying those who would pass the EAP duties test than that in the CPS. However, the requirement that supervisors in the OES spend at least 80% of their time on supervisory activities suggests that the OES is, if anything, conservative in this respect. The analysis in this report thus uses OES data for the retail industry (NAICS 44-45) and the restaurant industry (NAICS 722) from the Bureau of Labor 2 Even the work schedules CPS supplement, most recently conducted in May 2004, does not directly address FLSA exemption status. See http://www.nber.org/data/currentpopulation-survey-data.html. 3 See note in main report on Shierholz (2014). The 2004 Regulatory Impact Analysis relied on estimates compiled by subject matter experts in the Wage and Hour Division in the 1990s. Statistics. 4 Exempt workers are defined as those in an exempt occupation (see Appendix C for a complete list) who earned over $455 a week. 5 Note that the OES reports the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile wage for each occupation; wages were linearly interpolated between these values, with occupations either entirely included or excluded if the threshold wage was below the 10th percentile or above the 90th percentile respectively. The number of workers affected by a potential new threshold was calculated analogously. PASSIVE RESPONSE COST ESTIMATES The OES provides no information on employees weekly hours; these data are only available from the CPS. 6 In order to calculate cost implications of threshold increases therefore, the percentage of workers who work over 40 hours per week, and the average number of hours these workers work by occupation within the retail and restaurant industries was calculated using the 2013 basic monthly CPS files. 7 Occupations in the 4 http://www.bls.gov/oes/. All data are from May 2013. The statelevel analysis uses the research estimates by state and industry. Some care was taken to distribute missing or suppressed employment in the state-level files, although the effects were ultimately small. The national estimates were taken at face value, even where totals were greater than the sum of constituent elements. 5 According to BLS (http://www.bls.gov/oes/oes_ques.htm), OES wages are supposed to include: base rates, commissions, cost-of-living allowances, deadheading pay, guaranteed pay, hazard pay, incentive pay, longevity pay, over-the-road pay, piece rates, portal-to-portal rates, production bonuses, and tips; but to exclude attendance bonuses, back pay, clothing allowances, discount, draw, holiday bonus, holiday premium pay, jury duty pay, meal and lodging payments, merchandise discounts, nonproduction bonuses, on-call pay, overtime pay, perquisites, profitsharing payments, relocation allowances, severance pay, shift differentials, stock bonuses, tool/equipment allowances, tuition repayment, uniform allowance, weekend premium pay, and yearend bonuses. 6 For this reason, the total exempt workers and number of workers affected calculations include part-time workers. Such workers could, of course, still be exempt if they pass the salary basis test. 7 http://thedataweb.rm.census.gov/ftp/cps_ftp.html. Two variables relate to hours worked, hours usually worked, PEHRUSL1, and hours actually worked in the preceding week, PEHRACT1. The latter variable was used, but results are not strongly 32

CPS were mapped to OES occupations using a BLS cross-walk. 8 No relationship was assumed between hours worked and salary. Because of this, and because of title inflation in the CPS, estimates of the number of overtime hours worked by affected workers are likely conservative. The cost of raising the salary threshold given a passive employer response was calculated by assuming that the fraction of workers working any overtime all work the average number of overtime hours. Workers hourly salaries are set at 1/40th of their weekly salary. For each occupation, therefore, this implies a break-even wage, where paying time-and-a-half overtime for all hours beyond 40 costs the same as the new overtime exemption threshold. All workers earning more than this under the current system are assumed to have their salary increased to the new threshold; those earning less than this are assumed to be made nonexempt. MODELING FIRM ADJUSTMENTS As described in the body of the report, the adjustment model assumed that all affected workers who work over 40 hours per week 9 will fall into one of three groups: workers in group 1 will have their base salary increased so as to remain exempt, but will see their bonuses and benefits cut by similar amounts; those in group 2 will have their hourly wage rate set in such a way that their total compensation remains unchanged; those in group 3 will see their hours cut to 38 per week, with their salary cut proportionally a conservative estimate since such workers managerial duties are likely to be curtailed as well. The key assumptions of the model are these: Among workers working over 40 hours per week, all workers for whom the new threshold represents no more than a 7.5% salary raise fall into group 1. Of the remaining workers, 2/3 are in group 2, and 1/3 group 3. Those hours cut among group 3 workers are assumed to be made up for by part-time workers working 30 hours per week. CALCULATION OF ADJUSTMENT COSTS Changing employee compensation schemes causes significant disruption as small-business owners and human resource personnel work to communicate and implement whatever strategy is chosen to adjust business operations to the new regulatory requirements. To calculate the cost of this disruption, estimates were made of how much time ( people years ) would be required for human resource (or small-business owners) to implement a particular type of change. A people year means one HR or IT employee or small-business owner working the equivalent of one year to implement that category of change. Assumptions were then made regarding the level of manager required to make a particular category of change and the annual compensation of that level of manager. No allowance was made for the fact that some of these changes will result in recurring annual expenses (hiring part-time employees, for example). The following table, therefore, really estimates the loss in productivity from senior managers throughout the industry all being required to implement workforce changes throughout their companies in order to comply with these new requirements. sensitive to this. Only workers in the outgoing rotation group were considered, and observations were weighted according to the ORG weights (PWORWGT). Those working more than one job were not excluded, but only hours for the first job were considered. 8 http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_crosswalks.htm. 9 Those working 40 hours a week or less are not explicitly modeled though, as discussed in the text, they may experience certain negative consequences as well. 33

APPENDIX B: EAP OCCUPATIONS IN RETAIL Table B1 presents a list of all occupations from the OES identified as potentially EAP exempt. Specifically, it is assumed that workers in these occupations earning over $455 a week are EAP exempt. The total number of workers who fall into this category, and the percentage of total employment, is also given. This list was constructed after reviewing job descriptions from O*NET; 10 however final decisions on which occupations to include or exclude were made by hand.
