According to FLSA, the stockbrokers are pursuant to FLSA and are eligible for overtimes, since, at present, they are working in a constrained and regulated work environment that is similar to the environment containing assembly lines. Computer programmers are exempted from FLSA as they are well-educated, have well-paid jobs and they need to work for long hours. Accountants are pursuant to FLSA as they are not professionals. Therefore, they are exempted from the overtimes. Drug company representatives are not categorized as working professionals. Therefore, they are also exempted from the overtime. Nurses work in a constrained and restricted work environment; therefore they are eligible for overtime. Besides them, other job position that involves confusion regarding their eligibility for FLSA includes store managers, assistant mangers, contractors, clerks, etc., because their education work-responsibilities and work environment is not determined with accuracy. 2. Well-educated and well-paid employees do not need the protection of FLSA due to their good economic condition. Besides this, morally they do not deserve such protection as their job responsibility itself involves long working hours. Therefore, they should not demand for overtime wages. .
