Creative Professional Duties
•
•The employee’s primary duty must be the performance of work requiring invention, imagination, originality or talent in a recognized field of artistic or creative endeavor
In addition to the salary requirements, the creative professional exemption applies only if the employee’s primary duty is the performance of work requiring invention, imagination, originality or talent in a recognized field of artistic or creative endeavor.  Because we already looked at “primary duty,” the two terms we still need to look at are “recognized field of artistic or creative endeavor” and “invention, imagination, originality or talent.”
