As anyone who has spent any time in the workforce can tell you, there are exempt employees and nonexempt employees. The big difference between them is the fact that the first does not qualify for overtime while the second does. Most people are familiar with the so-called “white collar” exemptions for executive, administrative and professional employees. These folks are usually salaried, which people associate with exempt employees. However, according to the Fair Labor Standards Act, just having a salary is not enough.
