NBR: Question for the HR folks
Here's my story:
I was an exempt employee up until about 5 years ago when they switched me back to non-exempt since it's a gray area of whether my job had a significant financial impact. In the last two months my job has changed a lot and I feel that it could qualify me to be an exempt employee. I've never really bothered about it before because I get paid the same regardless, overtime was never an issue. Now it's very difficult for me to do my job with no overtime. I have to leave at 4:30ish every day to pick up Wes so I often skip lunches, especially on payroll weeks. Sometimes our systems are slow so I can't clock out until 15 minutes late. I just got an email that all over time needs to be approved. Fine, I get it, but I know she won't approve it. This email was most definitely directed at me since I'm the only one that has any overtime. I just can't seem to go a pay period without an hour or so. I'm perpetually on time and have an impeccable attendance record, but I just can't squeeze everything in under 80 hours.
So the question is, is it worth asking HR if I qualify as an exempt employee? And if so, how do I go about it? I'm guessing it's a simple thing, but I don't want to miss something and I know they aren't obligated to do it anything. I'm just feeling really exhausted by the time crunch and I honestly don't care about not getting paid that over time. It's worth it to me to stop having to hassle with time clocks and wanting to cry (which I've done several times) by the time crunch.
I feel really stupid asking on the interwebs, but my frustration is getting the better of me. I can PM more specific details if it might help.
