exempt employees
Salary, not hourly
Exempt employees are workers not entitled to overtime pay under labor law, typically because they hold salaried professional, executive, or administrative positions.
The term contrasts with nonexempt employees, who must receive overtime compensation.
As an exempt employee, she doesn't get paid extra for working weekends.
The classification often sparks disputes over whether employers have correctly categorized their workforce.
