Overtime on Salary – Exempt vs Non-Exempt and Hourly Rate

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Yes, unless you are exempt. Under the FLSA, exempt employees must meet a salary test and a duties test, such as executive, administrative or professional work; everyone else, salaried or hourly, is non-exempt and gets overtime. The federal salary threshold is $684 a week ($35,568 a year), and some states set higher ones. To find your hourly rate, divide your annual salary by 2,080, or your weekly salary by 40.
