As far as I know US law and this amendment (making tech
workersprofessionals) does not prevent employers from paying
professionalshourly with overtime. This amendment actually gives
employers thechoice, i.e., they will be allowed to hire sysadmins as
exempt (noovertime required). Without this amendment sysadmins that do
notqualify as Administrative employees could only be hired as
non-exempt(overtime required). Federal contractors are encouraged to
payovertime to exempt employees [1], which is probably why
Militarycontractors are paid OT.
