Been salaried for a dozen years. Makes no difference to me, but I hope for the hourly baws that it happens.

How do you regulate this? Wouldn’t everyone who is salary immediately switch to hourly and just clock 12 hours a day until they get back to the same salary but with half of it tax free?

I’m for it, but it won’t happen.

Reeks of hollow campaign rhetoric.

You put in the legislation that any company doing this will be subject to multi million dollar fines. I bet that would stop it

It needs to be part of a greater strategy to tear down the income tax layer by layer.

How would that work? Now every company has to prove their hourly employee justification to a federal government agency? What are the parameters for legitimate hourly vs sales? Most salary people work more than 40 so why not change it around?

so to prevent one party from getting a benefit you want the benefit of being salaried to get that benefit?

You want to give up your salaried position to get some tax off for overtime.

Don't know how you keep the grift out of this situation. Everyone back to a dollar an hour??
And initiate a 2 day work week?

It's not really the employee's option, it's the employer's. So long as the employee meets the salary and duties tests, the employer can exempt the employee from earning overtime.

The salary threshold is $35,568 and I believe there's 9 EEO classifications. The main 3 are administrative, executive, and professional.

Administrative is someone who 1) manages more than two employees and/or 2) works primarily in the office and has independent judgement on work of importance to the business' customers or operations.

Executive is self-explanatory

Professional is someone who needs a certification and/or advanced education to do their job. Think teachers, CPAs, lawyers, etc.

There are also categories for sales workers, janitorial staff, and IT that have their own duties test.

As long as an employee makes at least $35,568 and has primary duties that fall into one of the above buckets, the business can exempt them. The salary threshold was increased to ~$44k on July 1st of this year but was stricken down back to $35,568 by the Eastern District in Texas last week.

I'm salaried, but my RN wife routinely gets a minimum of 10 hours OT every week. That would benefit my house greatly!

When has a individual have any say in being paid a salary or hourly? I believe the employer determines that.

Its a fantastic policy.

Taxes are a disincentive to work OT
