Aha, I hadn't seen this page:

https://bmcclaw.com/faqs/employmentlaw/unpaid-wage-overtime-and-commissions/are-computer-programmers-and-other-high-tech-workers-exempt-from-overtime/

Looks like we are still hourly. I'm starting a new job, and they show me as exempt. Since that is favorable in some respects, I'll just keep this in mind if they try to abuse my basic 40 hrs/week.

Cheers!
Jay

Some years back, there was a lawsuit in California that resulted in technical writers having to be non-exempt / hourly only.

I don't see anything recent on that topic, has the exempt/non exempt rule changed?

Thanks!

Jay
