overtime laws for movie theater employees

My son has worked for a movie theater for 9 years and has never received overtime pay even though he has worked as many as 60 hours a week before. Are movie theater exempt?

Movie Theaters are exempt from federal overtime laws

The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) exempts employees of motion picture theaters from the FLSA's overtime requirements. 29 USC 213(b)(27). Ohio's overtime laws incorporate the FLSA's exemptions, so your son would be exempt from Ohio's overtime laws as well.

Regrets,
