I wish my health permitted me to work that many hours in a day. :) Being hourly does have advantages...

What do you mean by "exempt employee"? I thought all salaried people worked however many hours were needed for the same pay?

If you are an exempt employee you can be made to work for as many hours as required without additional compensation. Viva la company! This has nothing to do with .COM by the way.
