                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 541_DEFINING AND DELIMITING THE EXEMPTIONS FOR EXECUTIVE, 
 
                      Subpart E_Computer Employees
 
Sec. 541.402  Executive and administrative computer employees.

    Computer employees within the scope of this exemption, as well as 
those employees not within its scope, may also have executive and 
administrative duties which qualify the employees for exemption under 
subpart B or subpart C of this part. For example, systems analysts and 
computer programmers generally meet the duties requirements for the 
administrative exemption if their primary duty includes work such as 
planning, scheduling, and coordinating activities required to develop 
systems to solve complex business, scientific or engineering problems of 
the employer or the employer's customers. Similarly, a senior or lead 
computer programmer who manages the work of two or more other 
programmers in a customarily recognized department or subdivision of the 
employer, and whose recommendations as to the hiring, firing, 
advancement, promotion or other change of status of the other 
programmers are given particular weight, generally meets the duties 
requirements for the executive exemption.
