A new proposed rule would extend overtime pay to 3.6 million more salaried workers, ensuring they receive extra pay for long hours, the Department of Labor announced Wednesday.
The rule would guarantee overtime pay for most salaried workers earning less than $1,059 per week, or about $55,000 per year. It will go through a notice of proposed rulemaking for public comment for 60 days and comes after the Biden administration reached out to employers, workers and unions to inform the proposal.

I live on fixed income of $1,180 a month . . of course I was diligent and smart and purchased a couple of acres and put a mobile home on it, all paid for, in 2000.
Another Stalin “rule”.
Which is just protecting the unions. I had a job that I could work as many hours as Inwanted. I was fine with this. When the labour board said no, my boss limited me to no more than forty hours/week.
This forced me to get another job and work 80 hours week to get by.
Morons. A lot of people are going to get a pay raise to $1060. But RATs gotta pander.
My friends we can’t compete with that. Those are our people. They’re motivated and into getting ahead. The rats are very smart but I believe there is a bit of altruism we can give them credit for.
So what do we do? Ant worker that doesn’t put in 40 hrs/week gets no government benefits. Save the handouts for those that are too tired ate the end of the day to cause trouble.
How do you show a salaried person worked overtime? When does it kick in under the Biden scheme? Why would salaried people be unionized?
My sister makes the same thing on The Disability. When she was poor-mouthing, I said to her “Your car is newer than mine”
Some salaried positions are non-exempt. They get overtime.
Government goons will solicit complaints from salaried people who "claim" they've worked more than 40 hours a week but were not paid for it.
Seems like pretty good inflation fuel, too. When costs rise, prices rise. Bidenomics at work.
So, is one goal of Bidenomics wage and price control?
I know salaried people that fill out out time cards for charging projects.
The salaried people get paid “straight time” for overtime.
Salary/2080 is one’s hourly rate.
I’m old enough to remember when CONGRESS was supposed to make or change laws.
Unionss.... aka - socialists who look out for union bosses... higher payments more $$$ in union boss pockets.
But this is all about buying votes - period.
Fewer salaried workers and more AI.
Personally, it’s past time to get rid of salaried position, unless they’re gonna treat them as such, pay one salary weather at work one hour or 80 hours. Otherwise everyone should get paid our for our, and paid overtime when working over 40 hours a week. No exceptions. Let’s just move on!
Watch as employers , start making salaried workers punch in and out at a time clock like an hourly worker. Took five minutes extra 30 minutes lunch, well, congratulations we’re going to dock your pay for the five minute you weren’t working.

"Biden rule would give overtime protections to millions more workers"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Once again, career federal lawmakers look the other way while the Biden Administration steals state powers to buy votes for desperate elite Democrats and RINOs.
Patriots are reminded that Justice Joseph Story had made some example lists of government powers that, although intimately (Story's word) related to commerce, are not part of Congress's powers. One list mentions "wages of labor" which means that the fed's don't even have the express constitutional power to establish a vote-buying, national minimum wage imo.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;"
"The question comes to this, whether a power, exclusively for the regulation of commerce, is a power for the regulation of manufactures? The statement of such a question would seem to involve its own answer. Can a power, granted for one purpose, be transferred to another? If it can, where is the limitation in the constitution? Are not commerce and manufactures as distinct, as commerce and agriculture? If they are, how can a power to regulate one arise from a power to regulate the other? It is true, that commerce and manufactures are, or may be, intimately connected with each other. A regulation of one may injuriously or beneficially affect the other. But that is not the point in controversy. It is, whether congress has a right to regulate that, which is not committed to it, under a power, which is committed to it, simply because there is, or may be an intimate connexion between the powers. If this were admitted, the enumeration of the powers of congress would be wholly unnecessary and nugatory. Agriculture, colonies, capital, machinery, the wages of labour, the profits of stock, the rents of land, the punctual performance of contracts, and the diffusion of knowledge would all be within the scope of the power; for all of them bear an intimate relation to commerce. The result would be, that the powers of congress would embrace the widest extent of legislative functions, to the utter demolition of all constitutional boundaries between the state and national governments [emphases added]." —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2:§§ 1073--91
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Patriots need to get ready ASAP to support hopeful Trump 47 by primarying ALL state and federal, lawmakers and executives, except for MTG and Gaetz, for the 2024 primaries.
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.

In fact, consider that, since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo), the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably a delay with mail delivery.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Trump can endorse candidates from lists that patriots who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers provide for him, as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A) after they win office.
Consider the repealing of 16&17A as reparations for taxpayers for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Patriots, let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for third time in 2024 by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments.
