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.
Now you and the employer may agree to some other definition, but that
is between you and them.
At my previous $DAY_JOB, a technicion who was classified as "exempt"
took $EMPLOYER to court over back pay, overtime, lunch breaks, et al
and WON. (He had no direct reports...)
