Whether an employer is exempt from paying overtime generally depends on the nature of the work done by the employee, not some kind of blanket exemption. You do not specify the kind of work you do, so it is impossible to answer your question. Generally speaking, so-called "non-exempt" employees are required to be paid on an hourly basis and must be compensated at overtime rate for hours worked in excess of 40 per week.
