Re: exempt/nonexempt status
The "exempt" classification applies to supervisors and various types of highly paid workers who are exempt under the FLSA from receiving overtime. The stautute has the list of workers.
Generally speaking, all employees are entitled to time and one half for any time over 40 hours worked in a week.
The week can be any 40 hours.
