Unless I misread the laws regarding this, in CA at least you still have to earn ~$40/hr or more (it varies and last I read it was lowered a few $s) or more to be considered exempt, regardless of your job title
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.
That is not entirely correct. The actual text of the law, IIRC, reads to the effect of "Work which is primarily intellectual or managerial in nature..." In other words, if you are management _OR_ some form of technical professional. Most of the technical individual contributors I know that are in the 6-figure realm are exempt. You can find California Guidance on this matter here: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_OvertimeExemptions.htm More information is available here: http://www.management-advantage.com/products/overtime-exempt.html For further information, refer to the California Labor Code, near section 515. (515.5 applies to this industry) Other states may vary. Owen
