Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, “outside sales” employees are exempt from the overtime provisions in the Act. It would seem reasonable to assume, therefore, that pharmaceutical sales representatives who call on physicians would fall into this exempt category. The United States Department of Labor, however, disagrees. The Department recently submitted a brief in a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals case arguing that the job of the pharmaceutical sales representatives in that case was to persuade physicians to prescribe the company's products, but they did not "make sales" as required by the Act’s exemption for outside sales employees.

Employers that discipline or terminate employees for legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons may still find themselves facing discrimination or other legal challenges to the decision. The best way for employers to protect themselves in these situations is to remember – Document, Document, Document!
Even if a jury disagrees with a company’s decision to discipline or terminate an employee, as long as the employer genuinely believed the truth of their stated, non-discriminatory reason for the decision, the employee will be unable to prove discrimination. The most effective way to support an employer’s genuine belief is complete, contemporaneous, and objective documentation of the employee actions and statements on which the decision is based.
