RE: Overtime Will Be Outlawed
If I am not mistaken, the changes have already been "approved for
implimentation". The Spending Bill contained additional legislation that
would have prohibited the Dept. Of Labor from implimentation. That
legislation was stripped out in "Committee" and so for all intents and
purposes, its a done deal. The President need only sign it, and being one
of his pets, you can guess the rest.

Apologies for mis-firing a minute ago.
Actually, you won't have to decide how you will be impacted by these
changes. The Senate past the Omnibus Spending Bill containing these changes
as a rider. If the House hasn't already passed the bill, it will, and the
President will sign it.
You employer will be telling you how you will be impacted.
Best regards.

RE: Overtime Will Be Outlawed
The first tenets laid out here (below) are consistent, although I don't
know why a compensation cap is needed of 65K or any other wage number.
That would hit a lot of plumbers, electricians, and other "Skilled
labor". But then to suggest that a manager at a fast food joint would
benefit from these flies in the face of "responsibility or authority .
. . (Supervisory type decisions - hihiring/firing)". Exactly the
activities that would be prevented from getting OT. At least be
internally consistent in your dream world folks.
What a quaint concept. The idea that this administration would support
paying some small management class OT is laughable if the reality
wasn't so sad.
As was already stated, look at your own credentials and employment
characteristics, and decide for your self if you get screwed by this.
I would.

Employer name with held due to a troll who tried to get me fired for an
opinion I posted previously. Besides, my thoughts on this has nothing
to do with my employer.
<SNIP>
>I have skimmed the proposed law. As I recall what the DODOLs wanting
to accomplish is this:
New criteria will be defined to dictate who is eligible for OT and who
is not.
One of those criteria is the base salary ($65,000 sticks in my head).
Another is the type of responsibility or authority they have, such as
what types of decisions are they expected to make (supervisory type
decisions - hiring/firing).
The different criteria get evaluated to determine who is eligible and
who is exempt. The intent is to position people that are currently
salaried at low pay levels, such as the manager at Taco Bell working a
lot of hours, so that they will be able to collect OT. <
