    I don’t understand what is happening here, you only qualify for overtime if you make less than a certain amount?

      It’s complicated because, of course it is. There is salary exempt and salary non-exempt. To this day, I do not know which is which I just know that I’m the kind of salaried that doesn’t get overtime pay and I’m sure I never will. Maybe someone smarter than me will chime in.
