There are ways to pay over the salary amount - it's "under" that poses the major problem - however, no matter how you get creative, avoid paying the additional money based on hours worked or hours on-call.

Unfortunately, no..not for lack of willingness, but I need to plead ignorance. The dangers inherent in salary and salaried overtime are hidden within the wage & hour regs of your state, and I'm by no means an expert, even in the ones from my state that I'm supposed to decipher on a daily basis. Ask your company's attorney to help craft a system for you - since he/she will understand the issues of your state that need to be avoided.
