The US on the other hand has marked almost everyone who uses a keyboard "overtime exempt[0]."

In CA some people won't meet the salary requirement, which is somewhere around $90K/yr. Also, all administrative and many sales staff, who use keyboards extensively, are exempt (except at VP and up level).

Unfortunately the state of California doesn't check for this. So many companies still do it, and likely get away with it.

An EDD audit will be expensive, then. It happens. It often happens because people rat out their employer.

It was over 100K about 7 yrs ago when I looked into it, so unless there's been an adjustment since then...

On that note, if you want to challenge your exempt status, you must have a record of your hours that you are going to try to claim on.
