Can we pay exempt's hourly?

Under FLSA, can we pay an exempt employee on an hourly basis? I'd like to guarantee them a minimum salary, but pay them straight hourly pay for hours worked over 40. Is that allowable? Does that jeopardize their exempt status forcing us to pay them time and a half?
Why? The hours they work are billed to the client at a premium. This motivates them to work more hours, thus bill for more hours, therefore the client pays us more.

The supervisors would rather be EXEMPT and get a full expected salary, but they also want to keep their hours worked to 40. The work just simply can not get done in 40 hours a week and working no less than 6 or 7 days a week.
Why can you not bill according to your actual expense regardless of hours worked?
