...new rules that if an employee works more than 40 hours per week and makes over $455 per week that they be entitled to over time compensation. This rule change will prevent companies from labeling them managers and exempt from OT pay.

I'm actually in flavor of this proposal... first time ever I agreed with this administration, I think...

The new cut off pay scale was done based on inflated dollars from when the rule was first initiated...so this should be no skin of the company back...

Many and I mean a lot of companies misuse their employees by working them more than 40 hours a week while being labeled exempt...

Many employees as of now, before the new regs, wind up working at close to minimum wage when you break it down to pay divided by hours...

Non-exempt employees punch out at 40 hours (if they are lucky) and go home..
