Well the theory anyway is that nonexempt employees are paid for their time, while exempt employees are paid for doing a job (regardless of whether accomplishing that job takes them 30 or 50 hours a week, or may from time to time unexpectedly take more or less than the "standard" 40 hours).
I'm sure the IRS has much more detailed criteria.
- pmoriarty 9y agoSo if a job takes 24 hours a day to do, every day, and the employee can't physically or psychologically do that then they're not doing their job? No. I don't buy that. You have to draw the line somewhere, and I thought the war for this line was won long ago in favor of a 40 hour work week. But I guess not all workers have won this right yet.
