Are You Ready For Overtime?

12/1/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today (December 1, 2016), the new overtime rule goes into effect. If you make a salary of less than $47,476.00 but were told you had fallen in one of the exemptions, such as the administrative and professional exemptions, you are now entitled to overtime. In addition, if you were considered a "highly compensated employee" but make less than $134,004.00, you are now also entitled to overtime pay.

Thus, by today, if the new overtime rules apply to you, you should already see an increase in your salary or a reduction in the hours you have to work. However, be vigilant as many employers may decide to cut your pay in order to keep paying you the same amount you previously earned. This is illegal! Other schemes employers may use include (1) forcing you to work off the clock, (2) adjusting your time working, or (3) simply stating that you cannot work overtime hours, but then turning a blind eye if you do.
