Exempt/Non-Exempt Issue

I have an employee who is currently exempt. Since I have been with this company I have questioned whether she should be exempt as her job duties do not require alot of independent judgement, etc. Anyway with the new regulations it has become even more apparent that she should NOT be exempt and I discussed this with her today and she agrees as well. The problem is that she is upset about this as she does NOT like the idea of being required to report her hours, etc. and feels that her years of service warrant her exempt status and the ability to, consistently, work less than 40 hours per week. In addition my boss, the president of the company, wants to "stretch" her duties to allow her to maintain her exempt status. Any ideas how to get the message across regarding this problem?
