Poll question: Should Bush-Era "White-Collar" Overtime Rules Be Reversed? |
|
Persons working in recategorized positions must work when they are told. There is no 40 hour limit anymore from the Fair Labor Standards Act.

I am considered a professional and I do not get overtime. I get paid for 80 hours every two weeks. If I work over 80 in those two weeks, I can "bank" them and use them for time off or I can wait until the end of the quarter and request payment for those hours. But I will only be paid at my regular hourly rate.

4. I think all over-time should either be paid for an hour and a half or bank that as PTO |
|
entirely at the employees discretion and allocation in 10 or 15 minute increments.
Might be some fine tuning but that's my basic concept.
