Non-exempt employee? After interviewing for a sales position for a SaaS company, I received an offer. The recruiter made it sound like it was a salary, when I received the offer, I come to find out that they pay “hourly” as a non-exempt employee. Has anyone ever worked as a non-exempt employee before? I think I’m going to dislike tracking my hours. They do pay “overtime” though.

Normal where I am. I track my hours and it comes to about 40 or more every week anyway. It was a bit annoying to remember at first but the overtime is clutch.

Interesting. Do you really track your hours or do you just log in 40 hours per week?

None of our sales reps are salaried except for managers

I have. It sucks tracking but you an get overtime usually. So I never really minded it.
