Public service announcement: receiving a salary != being exempt from overtime, depending on where you live. In, for example, California, exempt status depends on the actual tasks you perform and the percentage of your hours each week you spend doing exempt vs non-exempt tasks. Thus, even a C-level executive can be owed overtime if they aren’t performing truly managerial work at least 50% of the time.
