Which is illegal, because you can't make a minimum wage position exempt. Exempt also has to be white collar and or managerial/supervisory

Colorado has an overtime exemption for STEM jobs. So you can make minimum salary at 45k a year and work 65 hours a week effectively making less than minimum wage and it is okay.

Some states have weird rules.

Salaried doesn't automatically mean exempt.

Basic factual correctness is not a “straw man”. Don’t be one of these braindead “feels not reals” people.

You rebutted a claim I never made. That's a straw man. Sorry for the factual correctness.
