Most people in IT that work the additional hours are usually comp'ed time. This is usually an un-written agreement between a manager and employees. Now although this time is not normally calculated at time and a half it does have the benefits of being more flexible then scheduling vacation. I have been in IT for at least 18 years and all but one position has been exempt. In each case the above applied. I'm sure that the law is solid and if someone wanted to pursue it would probably have a good chance in winning (with the right lawyer) but COME ON. Why are we in IT... because we love it! We really don't mind the extra play time, and by my past we do get a form of comp for the extra time spent at work. This isn't a fast food joint and we have to flip an extra 100 burgers without compensation. Would you really be that upset that you would rather sue then just find another job???

That?s my story and I'm sticking to it
