- domestic employees
- various types of salespersons
- professionals such as real estate brokers, and licensed insurance and securities salespersons
- professions such as architects, engineers, lawyers, psychologists and information systems professionals
- managers, supervisors and those employed in a confidential capacity
- licensed land agents
- instructors or counsellors at a non-profit educational or recreational camp
- extras in a film or video production
- employees covered by other Acts (academic staff)
- municipal police officers
Other industries do get overtime but they are paid in a manner that differs from the rule. For example, ambulance attendants have to work in excess of 10 hours a day or 60 hours a week before they are entitled to overtime under the Employment Standards Code. Of course, the specific agreement between employer and employee can deviate from these standards.
