Correct 100%it's pretty much supported by the law. Don't listen to anyone saying the contrary.

If you're not salary or on a day rate, everyone qualifies for OT.

I don’t know why you have a problem with me. I’m trying to help out the OP, you’re the one who took this convo off on a tangent. This conversation also has NOTHING to do with paying OT to creatives. Unless you’re a computer professional as stated in the doc I provided, it doesn’t apply to you, so why are you so mad (and rude)? If you’re a creative, then yes, hopefully you’re getting OT!

Depends on your salary, not your title.

See below post

Are you sure it depends on salary? I thought exempt and non exempt was whether you were in a management or sales position you don’t qualify or if you’re in a creative position you don’t qualify. But if you’re salary they must pay overtime if your job is mechanical in nature.

It differs by state, but yes, it depends on the salary. In NYC for instance, you must make at least $58,500 to be exempt from OT. In most companies, the level of the role (and salary) dictate whether or not a person is exempt. Being exempt has nothing to do with being in a management or sales position though. Plenty of non-management positions are exempt.

In my state you apparently have to make over 57.5k a year to be exempt, most of our prepress and production people are not above this rate and they aren’t getting overtime, they also work 10 hours a day 5 days a week. Should they take some sort of action? With the state’s labor force ?

I would probably start with a conversation with HR asking them to go through OT policy with you before you go around them. Prior to going in though, do your research on the numbers in your state and any exemptions to make sure that you don’t fall within an exemption. These laws change constantly, so they may not be up-to-speed. If they are in-fact in family, they’d probably rather make it right than have you report them and get fined. There also could be some loophole I don’t know about though as every state has their own laws. I’m not an employment lawyer or HR rep, just have hired a lot of people in many states.

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines. She now requires that I go back to the office to “show face” that HR is right alongside the essential employees. I have been more productive from home vs the office. I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?
