This is most often related to exemption status or pay structure.

Quick Answer
If you are paid under a qualifying commission-based role and meet the 7(i) exemption criteria, overtime may not apply.

Common Reasons

You qualified for the 7(i) overtime exemption.
Your role is otherwise exempt from overtime under applicable law.

Important Reminder

Overtime eligibility is determined by law and pay structure, not solely by hours worked.
