Yahoo!'s new CEO Marissa Mayer will be handsomely rewarded for taking the reins at that troubled company – she's been granted an annual base salary of $1m, and can earn up to another $2m in bonus money during her first year.

She's exempt.

She gets paid the same amount, regardless of how many days off she takes.

  Again, she's exempt. She could do the "endless summer" surfing trip, and still get paid.
