Are there any exceptions to overtime wage calculations aside from workers on flexible schedules?
No. There is a long list of fully excluded workers–from high school students who are in work study, work experience or occupational study classes or employed at their school, to live-in home support workers, police officers, residential care workers and professionals, In addition, many workers are covered only partially by these laws, such as taxi drivers, fishers, long distance truck drivers, forest fire fighters, bus operators, truck drivers and miners. Domestic workers are covered by hours of work and overtime.
