Not exactly correct.  The wage level test is part of one classification 
under which a worker can be exempt if the other criteria of that 
classification are met.  However, that is not the only classification 
under which a worker can be exempt, so it isn't correct to say that an 
employee *can* only be exempt if the wage level test is satisfied.

Which is not to say that I disagree about the law being widely flouted; 
I believe it is.  However, to know whether it is in an individual case 
requires understanding the particular circumstances.  Looking at the 
wage level by itself is not sufficient.
