The status is typically at the discretion of the employer and not the employee. Moreover, it would be nearly impossible to quantify the amount of hours eligible for OT in the past 5 years. To echo the thoughts of others, it would be best to keep your mouth shut and move on. Assuming base pay rate is unchanged, unless he was putting in less than 40 hours per week there's no way this can work against him.

There are rare instances of abuse of the Exempt Status. That may be worth pursuing so long as the employee is content with eventually losing their job and never working for the company again.

Nothing wrong with politely inquiring with HR, but if the answer is... Oh well, sorry. He should never speak of it again.

Right there, advice from someone completely talking out of their arse.

This guy probably works in the maintenance department, but wants to be Human Resources Mgr for a day.
