1) You are salaried if paid the same amount every pay period, regardless of hours worked. Any position can be salaried, at any level or amount of pay. The only limitation is that the amount you earn per week, when divided by full time hours (e.g. 40), must at least equal minimum wage, since regardless of whether you are paid salareid or hourly. If you get tips, that can reduce the minimum you must be paid, but tipped positions tend to almost always be hourly.2) However, being salaried does not necessarily make you overtime exempt: salaried workers can receive overtime (extra pay for hours worked over 40 per week). To be exempt from overtime, you musta) Earn at least $455/week in salary--which you do not. And in addition to this,b) Your job duties, resposibilities, and authority must meet at least one of the "exemptions" from overtime, which can be found on the U.S. Dept. of Labor website, such as the "executive" exemption (which should be called the "managerial" exemption, since it applies to non-executive mangers). Compare those exemptions to your job.As stated, you appear to earn too little to be overtime exampt, which means you should be getting extra pay when you work more than 40 hours per week. You may wish to file a complaint with your state or the federal dept. of labor.
