Computer employees within the scope of this exemption, as well as
those employees not within its scope, may also have executive and
administrative duties which qualify the employees for exemption under
subpart B or subpart C of this part. For example, systems analysts and
computer programmers generally meet the duties requirements for the
administrative exemption if their primary duty includes work such as
planning, scheduling, and coordinating activities required to develop
systems to solve complex business, scientific or engineering problems
of the employer or the employer's customers. Similarly, a senior or
lead computer programmer who manages the work of two or more other
programmers in a customarily recognized department or subdivision of
the employer, and whose recommendations as to the hiring, firing,
advancement, promotion or other change of status of the other
programmers are given particular weight, generally meets the duties
requirements for the executive exemption.
