Does anyone know more about the new overtime law that is suppose to take affect on August 23?
Way off Topic
- Thread starter dobberjean
- Start date
Unfortunately I do--I had to take a stupid seminar on the thing. They've basically enhanced some definitions of "exempt" vs. "non-exempt" employees, which were evidently too ambiguous. A "non-exempt" employee is who qualifies for overtime, and they have to spend a certain percentage of their time performing non-exempt duties. They tried to clarify some of the confusion re. what exactly a non-exempt employee is, & I have to admit I was pretty surprised at who qualifies as non-exempt.
There are some other changes too, but it's way too complicated to explain here. Your employer's attorney should be able to give you the details.

i heard about it on the news last night...i think it is a federal law and from my limited understanding...anyone who makes less than $23, 680 is guaranteed overtime if they work more than 40 hours a week. i went to the dept of labor web page, but i don't understand any of that mumbo jumbo stuff.
It's federal--dept. of labor. It's not how much they make, it's they're job duties. It is pretty confusing, but this seminar made it fairly clear. If you're comfortable emailing me your fax number I can send you what I got ([email protected]).
