Why don’t staff employees make overtime? Isn’t it illegal to force employees to work over 40 hours per week without overtime compensation?

@Leo1 — it’s amazing what questions people can easily answer for themselves with a simple Google search. But as you can see by the post, they aren’t looking for an answer so much as they feel a need to be heard. I find that quite depressing 😞

Not if you’re salaried.

Salaried employees are classified as exempt, meaning they’re exempt from FLSA overtime pay requirements. Employers are only required to pay non-exempt workers for overtime. The reason is that as salaried employees, we get paid the same amount no matter how many hours we work. So we could ostensibly sometimes work less than forty hours, and sometimes more. Obviously doesn’t really happen that way.

Yes, you see non-exempt if you make less than 48k. That’s pretty new. The previous threshold was around 25k. In most cases, it made more sense for agencies to bump employees under the salary threshold up to meet it rather than pay them overtime.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”.
