I am what the FLSA considers a "learned professional" I meet all 3 of the requirements for exempt status. However, my company is still moving me to hourly with no written or verbal explanation. I have asked several times "Why I was chosen?" and have also rephrased the question to "What are the company's requirements to consider an employee exempt?" but deflection is their ONLY action. I have talked with the state (TX) commissions office and legally my company does not have to give a reason for the move unless they decrease my pay (which was not the case)

It is, what it is, at this point HOWEVER... what would be the benefit of an employer to make this move in my case?

thank you!
