How normal are non exempt salary jobs.(salary but eligible for OT) I just started working one and had never heard of anyone actually getting a job like this. I've been pretty excited about it.

Just curious, why are you excited about this classification?

Federal GS jobs are like that, at least for some agencies. Hours are tracked for time and attendance purposes, as well as leave, credit, comp, etc., so you could argue they're "hourly". They publish an hourly rate, primarily for OT or leave without pay purposes.

But certainly not "hourly" as the general public uses that term.

I'm an engineer that works for a contractor and we we non-exempt. I like it since I get paid if I have to stay and work over, as long as it is approved by the client.

I work for an oil major and we have some jobs like this. We consider them paraprofessional.

It's the middle ground between hourly people and technical professionals.

Our people only need to track and charge the OT hours. Their base rate is covered.

Every engineering company that I know of hires most people as non exempt salary


Upper management may not be but they typically are eligible for bigger bonuses
