Unfortunately, exempt has turned into a "you must work 40 or more hours" type of agreement almost everywhere I've ever worked, so they key benefit of salaried work is gone. | |
| Oct 12, 2018 at 16:44 | comment | added | Roger | I mentioned several above. At some organizations the perceived status issue is a very important one for some employees. For others, the need to constantly keep track of one's time can be a pain, particularly for people who travel frequently as part of their job. | |

| Oct 12, 2018 at 16:16 | comment | added | Roger | @DJClayworth Why does anyone like dark chocolate? We're all individuals, I guess. | |
| Oct 12, 2018 at 15:48 | comment | added | DJClayworth | Why on earth would someone prefer to be 'exempt'? | |
| Oct 12, 2018 at 12:29 | comment | added | Roger | @Andy I don't think salaried is "better" from a management perspective, but different employees see things differently. Some people, like OP, may resent the hassle of having to clock in and out. Some may see exempt positions as higher-status positions. Others may prefer to be hourly because they want the overtime. | |
| Oct 11, 2018 at 23:54 | comment | added | Andy | Doesn't being hourly mean you'll get paid more if you work more than 40 hours? Why do you think salary is better? | |
