Salesforce has an "exempt" and "non-exempt" employment status. Non-exempt means the role is "hourly" and therefore eligible for overtime. What are the disadvantages/risks to this type of contract? I'm a Customer Success Manager with Slack, and had a standard employment contract prior. Thanks!

Pros:
you’ll get paid out for PTO you don’t use at the end of the year

you’ll probably make more money than is in your offer letter. You really rake it in if you end up working more than 12 hours a day

Living in the Bay Area is expensive and you might be on the low end of the pay grade at your company. If this job takes up more than 40 hours of your time, you deserve to be compensated for it because it’s stopping you from taking on a part time job that could help supplement your income.

cons:
While you’re learning stuff, you’ll end up spending more time on things. You might have people hawking over your time sheets, asking why things are taking you so long, or there may be a really annoying system that requires you to clock in and out so that they can be sure you’re taking mandatory breaks

If you end up clocking a lot of overtime on a big project, you might be put on more boring projects!

Other exempt employees will simply not understand your perspective on overtime

You might end up doing a lot more work than you can handle, because paying you overtime is still cheaper for them than hiring and training someone new. Try to loop your manager in if this is the case

There might be some stuff to do with when insurance kicks in, how 401k matching works, whether or not PTO is “accrued” that you’d need to look into on your own. Best to check with your HR person on that stuff

Thanks so much for your perspective. All valid points. I really appreciate it.

This also totally depends on the state you’re in, it’s not just a Salesforce policy. There is a concierge article that outlines the state laws and where your role falls.

I made the most money in the early part of my career when I worked with non-exempt status. However, I didn't have many responsibilities outside of work and now it is simply not worth the trade for me. Eventually you should grow enough in a company that it wouldn't be an issue anymore.

Be warned, SF has capped overtime for some roles so don’t count on the extra $.

Before someone asks - I’m referring to AEs in some areas being told no more than 2 or 3 hrs OT per week.
