I'd rather they add some regulations on how much unpaid overtime is exempt from extra pay. In the past salary meant working extra hours here and there but also getting the odd early day or a few extra hours off. Now they work salaried 12-15 hours and deny leaving early on a Friday so they can eliminate additional hiring.
Ah yes... you essentially make $21/hr and we can call you salaried, so you don't deserve to get paid for your extra hours. Salaried rules suck.

definitely depends on the specific role and employer. my mom is a salaried lawyer and has long assignments that take weeks or months, so it’s more convenient for her to not have to work 8 hours every single day. she works from home a lot, travels a lot, and plans her work schedule around her personal life. she takes days off whenever she wants as long as she can catch up on the work. and she still gets 4 weeks of PTO per year and paid family leave, paid medical leave, etc. she def has some weeks here and there where she has to work around the clock to finish something, but majority of the time it’s not more than 40 hours a week. her job is super mentally challenging and it would definitely stress me out to never really be “done” working, but if you’re someone like her who prioritizes flexibility, it can be a good system if you have a humane employer (big IF, lol).

Laborers aren't salaried. So if you're salaried, you can work 100 hours a week and only get paid for 40. If you're not, you'll get your hourly plus time and a half. So say you're salaried and your per hour pay comes out to 25. You work 60 hours, you're paid for 40, or 1k. Now you're a laborer making 20 an hour. 800 for 40 hours plus 600 for 20 hours OT.
Laborer here currently payed 45k salary with annual increases no overtime pay even if I work more hours in addition I'm asked to work additional days frequently at 32$ per hour but that does not come close to what it would be in overtime and even the 4 days I work it's closer to 12 hour days on each day.
I would much rather not get a raise and not be forced to work overtime. Time off is worth more than all the money in the world, and unless you choose to work, you shouldn't have to.
I agree with you, but time off is only worth more than anything in the world.

We're working on making our minimum progressively reach $15/hour by like 2030 or so
How long have you had this job? $4.25/hr is the lowest possible youth minimum wage in the US, but I believe it can only be that low for the first 90 calendar days.
Can we implement this for manual labor jobs? I work at a nursery in arizona. I plant, transplant and transport cactus and trees. I make 16 an hour and about 55 hours a week with no overtime pay just to get by.
Salaried employees (in the US these employees don't get overtime and the employer/company can take any money they make from a 2nd job or gig) should be only those that make at least 10 times the average worker. Yes, some employees should be "salaried". This is the upper management or C-suite. Those make enough that working more doesn't require overtime pay (they will probably get a performance bonus if the profits are high enough) and should focus only on that company.
Well employers are responsible for any damage they cause you at work. And anything over 60 hours a week will definitly cause damages. It would be reckless and stupid to work someone 60 or more hours a week. Heck based on Fords motor co.'s very risky and expensive experements in labor and economic forces it is stupid and self sabatoging to work anyone more then 20 hours a week. But. stupid is as stupid does. No clue what regulations might apply. (Im not saying Ford Motor Co. ignored thier own studies and experments. A 40 hour work week was the Athem for the labor movement of the early 20th century, and the results can only push investor relations so far so 40 is where Ford stayed)
@@AnonymousAnarchist2I've ran studies at companies for what the OT hours or hours per day cap should be. For most people after 10 hours your productivity tanks and it goes down about half every hour after, so we capped our hours at 10/day or 60/week. Whichever came first.
From an employers perspective I'd guess if you constantly have to pay o.t. it's time to hire another person so it's normal pay and not o.t. I'd you can't afford the normal pay, look at your profit structure as each hour worked should be providing net profit to the company at normal pay rates.
This right here. I am a “supervisor” for a blue collar company. I diagnose issues at peoples properties and sell them the work. Make $500 a week plus a percentage a week if I’m over a certain amount.
@@christiangervais479 He said in the video that it needs to be office based administrative work, so if your doing on site diagnosis, this likely wouldnt apply to you.
my current job (though not for long lmao) dodged this by dropping me from being salaried to being paid hourly, at a wage that i was earning over a year ago in a lower position.
One thing I often see you miss is that there are some industries where this just doesn't apply. In many states, seasonal camp counselors, agricultural workers, and more, are not just exempt from overtime pay, but exempt from minium wage laws entirely. In my first camp counselor role, I was paid a salary of $450 for 6 weeks of full-time work, and it was 100% legal. I'm not complaining or anything. I didn't care about the pay, since I had been a camper at this place all my life and it was like a second home to me. I would have paid to work there if I had to, but that's not the point.
I've had purely commission based pay, laws are different for commission than from salary or hourly. It might be different if the pay is mixed between salary and commission. But commission based pay needs work too, there aren't even legal mandates on lunch or bathroom breaks.
A ton of companies still have you log your hours at the end of the week for either progress tracking or for billing your hours to certain customers or projects. There's also salary non-exempt positions where you make a base salary and if you work above 40 hours you get overtime. It's honestly extremely easy to calculate overtime for salary employees, it just doesn't require you to punch the clock.
Some states require hourly tracking and some insurance companies require it in order to qualify for workman's comp insurance. Idk specifics about this law but the simple answer is to require hours worked tracking for everyone.

yeah the issue is, so many places will just offer hourly pay, even with having degrees, that benefitting salaried workers is not gonna help the real group struggling.

I'm an environmental Inspector for construction sites, (primarily outdoor work), with a small amount of office administrative duties. I am paid salary, but rarely work more than 40 hours per week, and earn less than this wage increase. Should I expect to see any changes that will effect my pay?
You need a congressional act to raise minimum wage. This just requires approval of the president. I get that the minimum wage needs to be raised. However many states are taking care of that and why should other suffer just because we havent been able to solve the suffering of some others.
@@VayxesYeah, they still think that minimum-wage workers are all either a) teenagers, or b) too stupid to get a 'real' job, therefore unworthy of a living wage.
Because in a lot of states, companies are using the fact that the minimum salaried wage is only around $15 an hour to make fast food and retail workers "managers" with a salary in order to pay them even less by forcing them to work extra hours above the 40 hours a week without time and a half which the company will argue meets the Executive exemption. Before the change goes into effect, the main minimum wage to be exempt from overtime is $35,568. If you work an employee 50 hours a week, you will be paying them 13.68 an hour which is well above the federal minimum wage but below the state minimum wage in a lot of places. About 34 states have a minimum wage higher than the Federal one but only a few (including NY and California) have wages in line with the upcoming change.
The only people who should not be entitled to overtime pay are those who earn a significant portion of their compensation in stocks, bonuses, or commissions. If they set that value to 20%, then there is no ambiguity. If you earn $100k a year base salary , you get overtime unless you earn an additional sum of $20k in stock, bonuses, or commissions. Simple and fair.
This finally spells the end of meme job titles. No more "Part-time Amenities Managers", "Directors of First Impressions", or "Executive Vehicle Managers". Kinda sad, but also about time😂
This is not ENOUGH. Companies will use it as an EXCUSE to raise prices further. The companies have to be FORCED to freeze prices, and housing must be FORCED to severely crash WITH an investor purchase ban with sell off.
Tbf, I have to work 60 hours a week between 2 jobs to afford living expenses anyway. I would not complain if it was 60 hours at one job, occasionally less, full time benefits, and for more pay. The cost of living crisis is ridiculous
I was a salaried manager for 10 different restaurants in 2000 to 2012. Since then I have been the recipient of 10 different lawsuits against those companies for working us as hourly employees without overtime.
Personally this would screw me over as an employee. I work in a seasonal county that's pretty much closed 6 months out of the year, jobs really hard to find in winter months. I work 27 hours a week in winter and 40-45 in summer. I prefer working 1 job year round, but most locals work 2 jobs in the summer while being unemployed in the winter. So me and my boss has an agreement to just pay me the same check amount every week, which averages out to be in my favor by roughly me making a dollar an hour more compared to what hours I'm actually working, close to evening out if taking into account overtime.
It will change nothing. Workers will comply for fear of their jobs. Salary for people who are not paid well tied to productivity and profit is a problem. I was paid well when I worked a salaried job, but I couldn't afford to live where I worked (Orlando). I quit. I work a union job now.
$21 an hour is not bad in many parts of the country. People do like predictable income. If you worked for hourly wages and it’s a slow week, your employer could send you home after 30 hours and you take a pay cut. People like to think that all this is a one way road to benefit the employer. It’s not. Also, this is essentially minimum wage for salaried people. If that’s what you are making after 5+ years on the job, you should rethink your career choices.
When I was an employee, I never fell for the salaried employee trick. I always went for hourly. To me, being on salary just means I'll get overworked and under paid.
I'm in Portland Oregon... I have an apartment and a car.... making $487/week after taxes. My rent + utilities is $1625. Yet I make too much for food stamps. I'm hungry.... and my car registration is expired ha.

Over time should pay 5 times more than what the persons wage is and not be limited. This in theory, should make employers more likely to be fair to their employees. Such as companies that net billions of dollars yearly and penny pinch by eliminating jobs. If there are more employees then there is less opportunity for over time, there for this saves money.
Though the law disagrees, I think salary means you're paid for the job, not the hours. If an employer says salaried workers are required to put in 44 hours a week regardless of performance/deliverables, they are treating you as hourly. Perhaps individual discretion should allow you to say I've acquitted myself well, done my job well, I'm hitting the golf course Friday afternoon.
@HH-le1vi that's true, although in my case fed/medi/ss taxes add up to be much higher than state to where state is almost insignificant. But yeah this is great for people being screwed into salaried positions but only helps temporarily bc by the next two increases, either the cost of living will increase where the bonus will be insignificant or you'll have moved on to something better just outside of that range.
so many places illegally deny overtime and underpay you with no admin discretion - an old friend of mine is retired from being a salaried Maintenance man for an apartment complex - the only one. I told him to get a lawyer, but he didn't want to get fired and evicted over suing. That's why they do it - just like any other sleazy employer; they bank on you being too afraid of the consequences to actually put the screws to them. Not me! I'll suffer for years just to do it, because I'll file addendum claims and end up owning the fucking place in the end! I'm patient, just like Thranduil.

They offered it to him and they told him the same thing and then he said no and then they said OK 1100 my question is where those $100 come from the ones they were going to give to me and not to the guy, how do you know if you’re getting a fair price?
For the next guy… $1,128 x 52 = $58,656. Also, per ADP’s California tax calculator, the take home is $893.57 per week, or $46,465.64 per year (-$12,190.36).

@@ObiwanNekody most states by law can pay minors a lower wage, usually with exceptions on what hours they can work and what duties they can perform.
How long have you had this job? $4.25/hr is the lowest possible youth minimum wage in the US, but I believe it can only be that low for the first 90 calendar days.
That’s not ok! You deserve to be paid fairly and employers use that as a way to avoid paying real wages. It hurts everyone
So i work in education under TRIO, im not eligible for overtime. Would this mean i get paid more now?
At a federal level $4k a month is killing it… only like 15 states where thats not a great wage.
Can we implement this for manual labor jobs? I work at a nursery in arizona. I plant, transplant and transport cactus and trees. I make 16 an hour and about 55 hours a week with no overtime pay just to get by.
Salaried employees (in the US these employees don't get overtime and the employer/company can take any money they make from a 2nd job or gig) should be only those that make at least 10 times the average worker. Yes, some employees should be "salaried". This is the upper management or C-suite. Those make enough that working more doesn't require overtime pay (they will probably get a performance bonus if the profits are high enough) and should focus only on that company.
C suite get stock options as part of compensation as well
How much overtime is acceptable/tolerated before it's too much? Is there an actual regulation for that?
Well employers are responsible for any damage they cause you at work.
And anything over 60 hours a week will definitly cause damages.
It would be reckless and stupid to work someone 60 or more hours a week.
Heck based on Fords motor co.'s very risky and expensive experements in labor and economic forces it is stupid and self sabatoging to work anyone more then 20 hours a week.
But. stupid is as stupid does.
No clue what regulations might apply.
(Im not saying Ford Motor Co. ignored thier own studies and experments. A 40 hour work week was the Athem for the labor movement of the early 20th century, and the results can only push investor relations so far so 40 is where Ford stayed)
@@AnonymousAnarchist2I've ran studies at companies for what the OT hours or hours per day cap should be. For most people after 10 hours your productivity tanks and it goes down about half every hour after, so we capped our hours at 10/day or 60/week. Whichever came first.
From an employers perspective I'd guess if you constantly have to pay o.t. it's time to hire another person so it's normal pay and not o.t. I'd you can't afford the normal pay, look at your profit structure as each hour worked should be providing net profit to the company at normal pay rates.

How does that work with a “commission based position” ? My wife is in insurance, and they pay ~$35k as salary “plus bonus” for “sales goals”
This right here. I am a “supervisor” for a blue collar company. I diagnose issues at peoples properties and sell them the work. Make $500 a week plus a percentage a week if I’m over a certain amount.
I hope someone sees this who knows the answer
I am curious as well
The base pay for the postion need to be over the threshold
@@christiangervais479 He said in the video that it needs to be office based administrative work, so if your doing on site diagnosis, this likely wouldnt apply to you.
my current job (though not for long lmao) dodged this by dropping me from being salaried to being paid hourly, at a wage that i was earning over a year ago in a lower position.
One thing I often see you miss is that there are some industries where this just doesn't apply. In many states, seasonal camp counselors, agricultural workers, and more, are not just exempt from overtime pay, but exempt from minium wage laws entirely.
In my first camp counselor role, I was paid a salary of $450 for 6 weeks of full-time work, and it was 100% legal. I'm not complaining or anything. I didn't care about the pay, since I had been a camper at this place all my life and it was like a second home to me. I would have paid to work there if I had to, but that's not the point.
Will this affect car sales I would love your take on commission sales we get told no overtime since we have a draw
You can get OT as a car salesman. It just takes away from your commission so it's not always beneficial.
I've had purely commission based pay, laws are different for commission than from salary or hourly. It might be different if the pay is mixed between salary and commission. But commission based pay needs work too, there aren't even legal mandates on lunch or bathroom breaks.
How do you calculate overtime for salaried employees? A lot of salary positions don't really clock in and out, and do a lot of work at odd hours.
A ton of companies still have you log your hours at the end of the week for either progress tracking or for billing your hours to certain customers or projects. There's also salary non-exempt positions where you make a base salary and if you work above 40 hours you get overtime. It's honestly extremely easy to calculate overtime for salary employees, it just doesn't require you to punch the clock.
Some states require hourly tracking and some insurance companies require it in order to qualify for workman's comp insurance. Idk specifics about this law but the simple answer is to require hours worked tracking for everyone.
I think this is fair. If your making 20$/hr and you work 50hours thats 1k.
As a truckers working 70 hours every 5 days. It's a wet dream to even think of overtime, our companies get by with "load pay"
I make over that amount but I'm "on call" for 1 week every month. Would those hours qualify me for overtime pay?
So how would this effect teachers. All of which are considered salary and often are forced to work overtime with no pay/compensation.
What about getting payed by day with no overtime? My bf works for FedEx ground regularly over 60 hours a week and is payed by the day with no overtime. If anyone has any advice please lmk

yeah the issue is, so many places will just offer hourly pay, even with having degrees, that benefitting salaried workers is not gonna help the real group struggling.
This won't apply puerto rico because the government said so 😢

What kind of pay increase will retirees in Mississippi get who are on Medicare kidney transplant patients stroke victims and stuff like that and they make less than $2,000 a month less than 1500 a month after deductibles if they have to pay their rent in a car Insurance their utility bills in other bills that they have groceries and food vehicle repairs how much extra money will those people get
I'm an environmental Inspector for construction sites, (primarily outdoor work), with a small amount of office administrative duties. I am paid salary, but rarely work more than 40 hours per week, and earn less than this wage increase. Should I expect to see any changes that will effect my pay?
Why though are they doing THIS when the Federal min wage is still $7.25/hr?!
Because they don't care about minimum wage workers, salary workers have "real jobs"
Republicans block helping Americans at every opportunity
You need a congressional act to raise minimum wage. This just requires approval of the president.
I get that the minimum wage needs to be raised. However many states are taking care of that and why should other suffer just because we havent been able to solve the suffering of some others.
@@VayxesYeah, they still think that minimum-wage workers are all either a) teenagers, or b) too stupid to get a 'real' job, therefore unworthy of a living wage.
Because in a lot of states, companies are using the fact that the minimum salaried wage is only around $15 an hour to make fast food and retail workers "managers" with a salary in order to pay them even less by forcing them to work extra hours above the 40 hours a week without time and a half which the company will argue meets the Executive exemption.
Before the change goes into effect, the main minimum wage to be exempt from overtime is $35,568. If you work an employee 50 hours a week, you will be paying them 13.68 an hour which is well above the federal minimum wage but below the state minimum wage in a lot of places. About 34 states have a minimum wage higher than the Federal one but only a few (including NY and California) have wages in line with the upcoming change.
Does it count for federal employees?
Boss: We’re giving you a raise!
Employee: Sweet a raise!
**Gets less on paycheck**
So would I be switched to hourly instead of salary since I will make less then the Jan amount
They have to pay you more as a salaried employee or they have to make you hourly. Their choice but they have to make it one way or the other
The only people who should not be entitled to overtime pay are those who earn a significant portion of their compensation in stocks, bonuses, or commissions. If they set that value to 20%, then there is no ambiguity. If you earn $100k a year base salary , you get overtime unless you earn an additional sum of $20k in stock, bonuses, or commissions. Simple and fair.
is that before or after taxes?
Get ready for the “we don’t have enough money” speeches followed by lay offs.
This finally spells the end of meme job titles. No more "Part-time Amenities Managers", "Directors of First Impressions", or "Executive Vehicle Managers". Kinda sad, but also about time😂
I own my own law care biz and pay myself under 800 salary Do I have to change?
Fair ! But need to cap the hours at 60
I'm paid salary, I don't work overtime, and I'm happy with my pay.
This is not ENOUGH. Companies will use it as an EXCUSE to raise prices further. The companies have to be FORCED to freeze prices, and housing must be FORCED to severely crash WITH an investor purchase ban with sell off.
Tbf, I have to work 60 hours a week between 2 jobs to afford living expenses anyway.
I would not complain if it was 60 hours at one job, occasionally less, full time benefits, and for more pay.
The cost of living crisis is ridiculous
I was a salaried manager for 10 different restaurants in 2000 to 2012. Since then I have been the recipient of 10 different lawsuits against those companies for working us as hourly employees without overtime.
So is the exempt or non exempt salaried employees?
Would something like this be applied to places such as security?
When does the primarily office based admin thing kick in? And what happens if that’s not the case?
Is this in all states?
Now I'm more confused.
Does that mean that you just don't get paid for overtime at all or do you just not get time and a half or something?
i looked into this and it’s says you need to “be paid at least a specified weekly salary level” Does this mean if we get paid monthly we don’t qualify
Agricultural workers don't get overtime
They work harder too…
Depending on the state, wage laws don't even apply to agricultural workers.
What is the "independent discretion" he mentioned at the end of the video?
So if im an school secretary for a Christian school.. currently getting about $650 bi weekly with no overtime, does that rule still apply?
Does this apply to georgia state government workers?
Also you can’t have you pay docked for missing time unless it’s an entire week.
Wow. That's great
Personally this would screw me over as an employee. I work in a seasonal county that's pretty much closed 6 months out of the year, jobs really hard to find in winter months. I work 27 hours a week in winter and 40-45 in summer. I prefer working 1 job year round, but most locals work 2 jobs in the summer while being unemployed in the winter.
So me and my boss has an agreement to just pay me the same check amount every week, which averages out to be in my favor by roughly me making a dollar an hour more compared to what hours I'm actually working, close to evening out if taking into account overtime.
That explains why my brother’s employer is going to a 68 hour work week for all of its salaried employees on July 1st.
It will change nothing. Workers will comply for fear of their jobs. Salary for people who are not paid well tied to productivity and profit is a problem. I was paid well when I worked a salaried job, but I couldn't afford to live where I worked (Orlando). I quit. I work a union job now.
I work retail, and overtime is a firable offense.
what if at all does this mean for me and 45% of Americans?
Is that before or after tax?
$21 an hour is not bad in many parts of the country. People do like predictable income. If you worked for hourly wages and it’s a slow week, your employer could send you home after 30 hours and you take a pay cut.
People like to think that all this is a one way road to benefit the employer. It’s not.
Also, this is essentially minimum wage for salaried people. If that’s what you are making after 5+ years on the job, you should rethink your career choices.
We talking before or after taxes?
Does this include managers?
Thank you, Biden!! 💙💙💙
Need that to bump another 70% or so. so I can get a raise.
Unless no one were you work is hourly, they are just as likely to roll you to hourly.
When I was an employee, I never fell for the salaried employee trick. I always went for hourly. To me, being on salary just means I'll get overworked and under paid.
So this doesn't apply to education salary workers?
How does that translate for truck drivers?
Neither of those is a living wage.
Depends entirely on where you are. I'm in Texas and have a car and apartment making 55k a year.
I'm in Portland Oregon... I have an apartment and a car.... making $487/week after taxes.

Does this apply to flat rate pay for mechanics?
Over time should pay 5 times more than what the persons wage is and not be limited. This in theory, should make employers more likely to be fair to their employees. Such as companies that net billions of dollars yearly and penny pinch by eliminating jobs. If there are more employees then there is less opportunity for over time, there for this saves money.
Before or after taxes ?
Though the law disagrees, I think salary means you're paid for the job, not the hours. If an employer says salaried workers are required to put in 44 hours a week regardless of performance/deliverables, they are treating you as hourly. Perhaps individual discretion should allow you to say I've acquitted myself well, done my job well, I'm hitting the golf course Friday afternoon.
Is that amount before or after tax
Is this gross income or net income?
Gross, I'd assume.
@RobertMcGlynJrRob unfortunate. I wouldnt see anything from this for like 4 years lol
@@bpindelgovernment can't really use net. Each state has different tax rates and so does each person so your net won't be the same as someone else's.
@HH-le1vi that's true, although in my case fed/medi/ss taxes add up to be much higher than state to where state is almost insignificant. But yeah this is great for people being screwed into salaried positions but only helps temporarily bc by the next two increases, either the cost of living will increase where the bonus will be insignificant or you'll have moved on to something better just outside of that range.
What does “independent discretion” mean?
so many places illegally deny overtime and underpay you with no admin discretion - an old friend of mine is retired from being a salaried Maintenance man for an apartment complex - the only one. I told him to get a lawyer, but he didn't want to get fired and evicted over suing.
That's why they do it - just like any other sleazy employer; they bank on you being too afraid of the consequences to actually put the screws to them.
Not me! I'll suffer for years just to do it, because I'll file addendum claims and end up owning the fucking place in the end! I'm patient, just like Thranduil.
some states already have a minimum that's higher than this number.

Do you know anything about piecework I used to work at this electrical company I would do piecework I would wire houses and they would say this house pays this much so for example I did one that paid first they said 950 then I said that’s way too low cause this house was big. I had to work everything cans under cabinet lights you name it, OK OK will do and then I said it was too low. Didn’t the electrician talk to me about it? They offered it to him and they told him the same thing and then he said no and then they said OK 1100 my question is where those $100 come from the ones they were going to give to me and not to the guy, how do you know if you’re getting a fair price?
Does this apply to government jobs?
For the next guy… $1,128 x 52 = $58,656.
Also, per ADP’s California tax calculator, the take home is $893.57 per week, or $46,465.64 per year (-$12,190.36).
Is that $844 net or gross per week?
