Navigating Exempt Status in School Districts

Wednesday, November 18, 2026  |  10:00–11:00 AM

Determining whether a school district position is exempt or nonexempt can raise questions about pay, schedules, and job duties. Join Greg Swanson of Porter Foster Rorick for a practical discussion of how to approach these classifications and the situations that can make them especially challenging in school districts.

Topics will include

  • How the salary basis, salary level, and duties tests work together
  • Washington’s salary threshold and its effect on classification decisions
  • How longevity pay, additional contract days, and stipends may factor into the analysis
  • Questions involving school year schedules, calendar year changes, and multi-step salary schedules
  • Positions and duties that can be difficult to classify
Who should attend? Payroll, human resources, and school business professionals involved in employee classification or compensation decisions.
