Actually, it doesn't matter how much you make per hour, the deciding factor between exempt and non-exempt is how many (if any) people you SUPERVISE. No supervision of others, then non-exempt.
I don't think that is correct. "Professionals" do not supervise people but if the substantial control their own activities and make above a certain level in total compensation, they may be exempt.
Now you and the employer may agree to some other definition, but that is between you and them.
At my previous $DAY_JOB, a technicion who was classified as "exempt" took $EMPLOYER to court over back pay, overtime, lunch breaks, et al and WON. (He had no direct reports...)
He probably failed the compensation test, or more likely, did not control his own activities. -- Democracy: Three wolves and a sheep voting on the dinner menu.
