As a salaried employee I didn't get paid overtime but I did get "comp
time" (extra time off) because I did work extra hours. Also annual
bonuses. The people who always wanted to cut out early or right on the
dot (they were also salaried) were noticed, and not necessarily in a
good way. They'd also drag out their [paid] lunch hour and come
wandering in about 30 minutes late every day. That was noticed, too.
