Exempt and non-exempt are orthogonal to salaried an hourly.

---

Overtime for an hourly exempt worker is 1.0x.

Overtime for a salary exempt worker is not defined.

Overtime for an hourly non-exempt worker is 1.5x.

Overtime for a salary non-exempt worker is poorly defined.

An hourly computer professional making over $27.63/hour is likely exempt. One working under that amount is non-exempt.

The specifics of how the FLSA applies to computer professionals is described in https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/17e-overtime-co...

No it's 1.5x (minimum), just like hourly.

To find the hourly wage that the 1.5x applies to, you divide their salary for the pay period by the number of non-overtime paid hours in the pay period.

Under federal law, but maybe not under state law (CA, for instance, has a much higher threshold for computer software workers.)

Yes, that is one of the complications, some roles are "salaried nonexempt". :)

For computer professionals, that has a very low threshold of $684 (you have to make less than that per week) to be non-exempt.

> Exempt computer employees may be paid at least $684 on a salary basis or on an hourly basis at a rate not less than $27.63 an hour.
