The Office & Admin Staff Fix Kit
Built for office and admin staff.
Office and admin work is paid by the hour or by salary, and the leaks hide in the minutes: the login before the shift, the lunch eaten at the desk, the errand in your own car, the 401(k) match nobody signed up for, and a job title that says 'exempt' when the duties don't. Each fix here starts from your own timecard, stubs and calendar. This kit finds where the money leaks in your own work and gives you the steps and the words to close each one.

No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 6 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.
Salaried and called exempt, but the job may not meet the test
The other side owes it- Check your weekly salary. The federal floor for the white-collar exemptions is $684 a week, $35,568 a year, after the 2024 increase was rolled back (VERIFIED: Parker Poe, May 2026).
- If you're paid less than that on salary, the federal exemption can't apply to you.
- If you're above it, write down what you actually do most of the day. The administrative exemption needs office work tied to running the business and real discretion on matters of significance.
- If most of your day is data entry, scheduling, filing or answering phones by the script, note that.
- Ask HR in writing which exemption they use for your job.
Your part: Ask HR in writing; the DOL or an employment attorney decides.
Email to HR: Hello, I'm [YOUR NAME], [JOB TITLE]. I'm paid a salary of [AMOUNT] per [PERIOD] and classified as exempt from overtime. Can you tell me in writing which FLSA exemption my position falls under, and send me my current job description? Thank you, [YOUR NAME]
Keep your job description and a note of your real daily tasks, updated each time your role changes.
What this kit can't decide for you: Some states set a higher salary floor or their own rules. Whether you are exempt depends on your duties; the DOL or an attorney decides.
That's 1 of 6. The other 5 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

What people in this work look up
When office and admin staff go looking for answers, they search things like “administrative assistant salary”, “office manager salary”, “receptionist pay” and “admin assistant overtime”. Those searches turn up forms, averages and other people's numbers.

What you get for each leak
- Numbered steps to close each leak
- Your part, spelled out
- Words you can use: letters and scripts, ready to send (fill in the brackets)
- A habit that keeps each leak from coming back
- An honest line on what the kit can't decide for you
