C$.$ Professional Exemption $(551\mathrm{.}207)-$ to apply this exemption criteria, must check the "Primary Duty" box AND all

the boxes of at least one of the two Professionals or Computer Employees listed below

Primary duty must be the performance of work requiring knowledge of an advanced type in a field of science or learning customarily

acquired by a prolonged course of specialized intellectual instruction or requiring invention, imagination, originality, or talent in a

recognized field of artistic or creative endeavor.

Learned Professionals $($ $$551\mathrm{.}208)-$ all boxes must be checked to apply this exemption criteria

Primary duty must be the performance of work requiring advanced knowledge in a field of science or learning customarily acquired by a

prolonged course of specialized intellectual instruction; AND

Perform work requiring advanced knowledge $($cannot be attained at high school level$)$ which is predominantly intellectual in character and

includes work requiring the consistent exercise of discretion and judgment; AND

The advanced knowledge must be in a field of science or learning which includes the traditional professions of physical, chemical, and

biological sciences, accounting, actuarial computation, engineering, architecture, law, medicine, theology, teaching, and other

occupations as distinguished from mechanical arts or skilled trades; AND

The advanced knowledge must be customarily acquired by a prolonged course of specialized intellectual instruction which restricts the

exemption to professions where specialized academic training is a standard prerequisite for entrance into the profession. On unusual

occasions, engineering technicians performing work comparable to that performed by professional engineers on the basis of advanced

knowledge may also be exempt $($ $$551\mathrm{.}208(3)($f$))$; however, they are also an example of an occupation that would not meet this particular

criteria $($ $$551\mathrm{.}208(3)).$

Creative Professionals $($ $$551\mathrm{.}209)-$ must check the box in order to apply this exemption criteria

$$ Primary duty must be the performance of work requiring invention, imagination, originality, or talent in a recognized field of artistic or

creative endeavor as opposed to routine mental, manual, mechanical, or physical work. Examples include actors, musicians, composers,

conductors, soloists. Painters who, at most, are given the subject matter of their painting and writers who choose their own subject may

also be included. Employees engaged in the work of newspapers, magazines, television, or other media are not exempt creative

professionals if they only collect, organize, and record information that is routine or already public.
