salary & overtime
even if you were employed as a project manager for duct cleaning and mold remediation? my husband does carpentry work on the side, and knowing this his boss had him replace his roof on his home, replace his deck, window, etc. if my husband complained he was told it's my way or the highway. when he told his boss he was quitting he was offered a $10,000 raise and Monday - thursday work week. My husband declined the offer and has it in writing. I'm not sure what you mean by exempt and non exempt.
also, if he took a sick day even if he worked over a forty hour week, his pay stub would say 32 reg, 8 sick. he rarely called out sick and averaged 50+ hours a week.
