An employee who underwrote mortgage loans for Provident Savings Bank was not an exempt “administrative” employee, and so was entitled to overtime compensation under the FLSA. The issuance of the loans was Provident’s primary business. The employee’s primary job duty was a necessary step in issuing the loans. The employee did not set corporate policy, but rather applied employer-set policy guidelines to determine the risk posed by a proposed loan to an applicant.
