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.

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?
