AIUI almost all salaried employees are exempt from overtime pay in the US.

Is there ever a situation where it makes sense to pay fixed salaries to non-exempt employees?
Sometimes overtime bonuses get used as an incentive for salaried employees to work more but I guess it's more a bonus than overtime pay.
This is only accurate inasmuch as most salaried employees are overtime exempt for other reasons (e.g. because they are executive or administrative professionals). Paying employees a salary, on its own, does not make them overtime exempt.
