Can a company that has a policy to pay overtime for exempt employees change the policy not to pay overtime?
EdSchulz
This is a legal question, and as with all legal questions, the devil is in the details. You should consult a labor attorney in the particular state you're concerned with to see what local law says.
In general, I would expect that they could enact such a policy change, provided that it was not retroactive (they couldn't deny you overtime pay for time you've already worked, but they can tell you that starting right now they're not going to do it any more).
It might turn out to matter whether the employer had actually outright stated this policy in an employment contract or employee handbook, or if it's just the way they'd always done things with no explicit declaration that they would do so.

What is an exempt and non exempt employee?
Exempt employees are 'exempt' from federal overtime rules and regulations, based on specific qualifications put forth by FLSA rules. (Executives, professionals, etc.) Non-Exempt employees are paid by the hour, and are subject to federal overtime rules (time and a half, for all hours worked over 40 in a pay week.) All hourly employees are non-exempt, all exempt employees are salaried, but not all salaried employees are exempt. Salaried employees must pass specific FLSA criteria to be categorized as 'Exempt', and therefore exempt from overtime rules.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that non-exempt employees be paid overtime for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. However, exempt employees who earn a salary of over $455 per week and meet certain job duties may not be entitled to overtime pay. It is important to consult your employment contract or the FLSA regulations to determine if you fall under the exempt or non-exempt category.

I am on salary but work 45 hours a week should you get paid overtime?
Per Federal Law, you need to understand the definitions used for pay. Non-exempt is usually an hourly employee and Exempt is usually a salaried employee. Some salaried employees are non-exept. Their salary is based on a 40 hour or pre-determined number of hours a week. If they work more than their determined number of hours per week, they get overtime pay. Exempt employees are exempt from the overtime laws. You are paid a salary per pay period no matter how many hours over 40 you work. You can work 40 hours or 90 hours and you will get the same pay either way. Non-exempt employees are not exempted from the overtime laws. If a non-exempt employee works more than 40 hours per week, they are required to receive overtime pay. One thing to remember is that overtime is only used for hours actually worked in excess of 40 hours per week. If you get 2 day of holiday pay (Christmas usually), those 16 hours of pay do not count for overtime purposes. You would have to work more than 40 hours in the days that you did not have off.

No, it is not ... at least not without some qualifications.The US is changing its rules regarding exempt employees (the new rules go into effect December 1 2016), and employees at the low end of the salary range may no longer qualify for exempt status. So SOME salaried employees may be going to hourly pay (which among other things, means they will now be eligible for overtime pay).
