If the social worker has a master’s degree in social work, he or she would most likely meet the educational requirements of the professional exemption and therefore not be entitled to overtime pay. A social worker with a bachelor’s degree would also typically meet the educational requirements for the professional exemption. Also, if they supervise other employees and are paid on a salary basis, they may meet the requirements of the executive exemption.
