Additionally, understanding who in the company is considered an employee can be confusing because it will vary depending on how the company or business has been legally set-up or organized. Corporate officers are eligible to file for an exemption if they choose; however, it is important to understand the requirements and file the necessary forms if an exemption is going to be requested.
