Yes, an employer may be required to pay overtime wages to an IT worker, unless otherwise exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The FLSA does not list specific IT job titles as exempt or non-exempt from overtime requirements; rather, it refers to the term “computer employees.” Generally, IT Workers are included in that category.
