I work in Virginia as a full-time employee for a small business, under 8 people. Our boss pays us an hourly rate (an "annual salary" divided by 2080 hours) but treats us as exempt.
In other words, my pay fluctuates according to the number of workdays (but no more than 40 a week) in the period from the first of the month through the 15th and from the 16th through the end of the month...Paychecks are either for 72, 80, 88, or 96 hours.
I recruit, hire, train, and supervise several "independent contractors" who are not considered employees.
Am I really exempt from overtime pay?
