The proposed rule would lift the salary threshold for overtime pay from $35,568 to $55,000.

I do not. My job sucks and I deserve higher pay.

I'm curious what you do where you are salaried with that low of a pay. Totally understand if you don't want to share though.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Sorry, not willing to share. But let's just say it's a very small company owned by a very large company but allowed to be autonomous. I'm the lowest paid person here despite having huge responsibilities too. I'm looking for a new job, but it's got to be WFH. I'm on a hybrid schedule now, one of the few reasons I've stuck with this job for so long, and I don't want to work in an office at all anymore.

I believe that if you make below that threshold as a salaried employee and do not receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per week, then your employer may be violating a rule.

Wage theft is the largest category of theft in the USA.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wouldn't be shocked if there was wage theft going on, but there's also no way to record my hours. No one to keep track of it.

[–] SaltySalamander@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Why aren't you keeping track of it? The labor board exists. Use it.

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That sounds remarkably convenient for your employer.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Like I said, the job sucks.
