Does anyone know why there is such a huge difference between the salary miniumum and the hourly minimum requirement for Computer Professional exemption under FLSA? The salary minimum is $455 per week, which figures out to about $11.38 an hour. If the employee is paid on an hourly basis, then the minimum is $27.63.

I honestly don't understand why this exemption is even in existance. I mean, it all can be covered by learned professional...! Unless the DoL is out to get IT folks - I mean, pay me $28 an hour and then don't give me overtime when I have to work 29 hours straight to bring a bank's network back into operation?!
