mrmatt Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Back to the topic: Taking away overtime pay. I looked into this a little and it seems that this will only apply to salaried employees that are currently paid overtime. It is my understanding that this will not apply to employees that are paid by the hour. Am I understanding this correct? If so, how many people will this really affect? I know very, very few people that are in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 salaried employees do not get paid overtime. if there are people that do get paid overtime, they are not on salary. It just dosn't work that way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatt Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Some do. I worked that way for about a year, and I think that there are just a few people here still doing this. I think that this is a grey area in the current legislation that the new bill is supposed to clear up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 If you get paid overtime, (1.5Xstandard hourly pay) than you are not on salary. salary pays you for a 40 hour week, no matter how many hours you work..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatt Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 salary pays you for a 40 hour week, no matter how many hours you work I agree for the most part. But there are a few people that receive a set amount every week or month but also get paid overtime when they work more than 40 hours in a week. The overtime that they get paid is not a 1.5 times their hourly pay (because they do not have an hourly rate), but rather is based on their weekly or monthly pay. This is rare, which is why I wanted to bring this up. Because I do not think that this bill will affect very many people and I do not think that it will affect anyone that works on an hourly rate. I may be wrong, but this is the way that I understand the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDSTAR Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Boonman, I really hope you take your talents and your obvious ambition and put them to work for you. I really mean that. After being horsewipped for eight years by liberal politicians, I'm just very skittish about anything empowering someone over my busness. I understand where you are coming from, but I have to cover my ass and my busness. I'm going riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 I am at a point that I may be going into business for myself very soon. I am sick of being told what to do, and making millions of dollars for a company that doesn't reward me for it. I am going to patent my designs, (I didn't sign any agreements) and get the hell out of here.... I hear that....just finishing up some of my college crap so I have that little piece of paper that says I know what the hell I'm doing in case I get sued over some stupid shit. They can't justify what they pay me for what I do where I work...and they have pleanty of $$ I know for sure. I suprivise a internet & IT support team, am our graphic designer & web designer. How many people who do that shit do you know that struggle to get by?...I'm lucky to bring home 23 or so a year. It's complete bullshit & no one will tell me it's not. I paid like 3 bucks one time to have a financial company analyze what I do as far as my job & capabilites...even without a college degree with the work I do I SHOULD be making 35-40k a year. Yeah right...try & tell that one to the boss. I get screwed...but with the economy the way it is today, it's hard to find a job that will give me insurance, that's the main reason I'm hear...but just recently they dicked us on our insurance too, so now I have shit for insurance--but at least I got it. I could go on but it's redundant, just pisses me off thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
