Non-eligible employees
The following employees aren’t eligible for overtime hours and overtime pay in Alberta:

• managers, supervisors and those employed in a confidential capacity
• farm workers
• professionals, including agrologists, architects, certified or chartered accountants, chiropractors, dentists, denturists, engineers, geoscientists, information systems professionals, lawyers, students-at-law, optometrists, podiatrists, psychologists and veterinarians
• salespersons of automobiles, trucks, buses, farm machinery, road construction equipment, heavy duty equipment, manufactured homes or residential homes
• salespersons who solicit orders, principally outside of the employer’s place of business, who are fully or partly paid by commission (this does not apply to route salespersons) Read more about salesperson commission pay plans.
• licensed salespersons of real estate and securities
• licensed insurance salespersons who are paid entirely by commission income
• salespersons who are at least 16 years old and are engaged in direct selling for licensed direct sellers. Read more about direct sellers.
• licensed land agents
• extras in a film or video production
• counselors or instructors at an educational or recreational camp that is operated on a charitable or not-for-profit basis for children, persons with disabilities, or religious purposes
• domestic employees (these employees are not exempt from sections 18 and 19 of the Code concerning rest periods and days of rest). Read more about domestic employees.

I’m not sure I understand how this is relevant? I think it’s also worth mentioning that in some circumstances employers are required to pay overtime to employees in some of those positions.
