[Histonet] Salary exempt/nonexempt status

[Rene J Buesa]

hings are usually different in CA but in FL this is more or less as it works:1- if you are Supervisor or Manager, even when you have to clock in/out no matter how many ours extra you work, you do not get paid overtime over your salary.2- if you are "bench worker" you clock in/out and IF you work more than 40 hours week the difference = overtime if you work less than 40 hours week = your are paid for the worked hours. Even if you some days work  >8 hours you may be scheduled to work <8 hours some other days to compensate.I remember that when I retired I calculated that I had worked in excess of 3 YEARS unpaid because I was manager (life is tough!)René J.

 Can someone please help me, I've been losing sleep over this ever since moving to CA and working here. 

If you are paid a salary but NOT a supervisor or manager are you considered exempt or nonexempt? 

I was told by someone that if you are salary but not in a managerial position you are considered nonexempt and are entitled to earn OT.

I have tried searching the laws in CA and the only thing I could find is: 1. If you earn twice the wage of minimum wage you are exempt. 2.  If you are a type of professional (doctors and lawyers etc) or in a managerial position you are exempt

With that being said, I believe a lot of people in the U.S with other professions make twice the wage of #1, so does that mean they are all exempt? 

Please help me answer this question!

Thank you in advance!
