The FLSA typically classifies exempt employees into three categories: professional, administrative, and executive. Their compensation is not directly tied to the number of hours worked. As such, they do not have the same protections afforded to the non-exempt majority under the FLSA and do not receive overtime pay.
The three most common categories for exempt employees under FLSA are:
Hourly Pay Rate x 1.5 x Number of Overtime Hours Worked.
Your base pay or hourly rate may be higher or lower than you think, based on any bonuses that are paid on a regular basis or earned, as well as based on the hours you work. The same does not apply to exempt employees.
