I know Alabama does not, though. But I think Texas does and California

Yes, you get overtime starting the second you start overtime and you do get 1.5x. You obviously have to record your hours.
My department at the time was hemorrhaging money because it was averaging like $50,000 in overtime a month (but you know, they could t just hire more people)
Bonuses are usually significantly lower than for those in management who were non-exempt because the thought it workers would be getting several thousand in dollars a year in overtime. Could still expect a couple thousand dollar bonus.
Management would receive bonuses up to 30% of their salary and by the time their eligible for that, they’re usually well into 6 figures.

Salary Exempt. 55 hour weeks are standard and you get nothing. No time is tracked- so theoretically I guess you could get comp time?

Salary, OT kicks in after 48 but is straight time. Once you hit 48 you get paid for hours 41-48 and anything up to a maximum of 60 hours.

Had this my 1st job out of college when I was a field engineer. I was paid 1.5x the hourly equivalent of my salary.

My buddy works for a Parish entity and they give them Comp Time. Then they don't allow them to take it by telling them they don't have enough employees to cover their shifts. At the end of the year they declare the Comp Time and unused PTO Use or Lose and erase it off the books. It's a crock but the guy is hanging on to get his pension.

This really is an equity versus equality of out come discussion
Employee a spends mucho, time in the crapper, takes smoke breaks, gossips, internet surfs, etc and cannot seem to get the job done in less than 50 hours.
Employee b comes in the office schedules work, meetings, deliverables, and gets all assignment done in 40 hours.
Why should the bum get paid 25 % more??????

Same but its based on 40 hours. The union guys work 37.5 hours.
I do get OT over that, and 2.5x on holidays. I schedule myself for a few hours on holidays..

I'm salary exempt as well. Most weeks I usually just put in around 40-42 hrs. I work more than 55 hrs a week occasionally but I think I'd quit and find something else if I was regularly expected to.

Depends on where you work and what kind of work you do.

Federal law is 1.5 rate over 40/weekly. Either cash or comp.
That is for hourly employees, not salaried ones. As another poster stated, it is typically straight time for hours over 40 or in excess of the pay period expected hours (that is how it has worked for me at the four places I have worked) at many engineering firms.
I think it can also be tied to the expected hours stipulated in your contract (I have heard from someone that their salary was based on working 50 hours per week).
There is also a stipulation related to "highly compensated employees" that does not require any payment for excess hours worked.

We don't get paid extra or even have an official comp time policy. I worked 110 hours one week last year although it was a fairly atypical situation. I probably work more than 45 hrs a week maybe 8-10 weeks per year on average but I don't get an extra dime for it or any additional time off.

When I first started we go 0 extra pay and were always told we would get a bonus at the end of the year to compensate. That only occasionally happened. Then we eventually got what they called production bonuses that equated to about 1/2 our straight-time rate. Eventually, they went to ST because other companies had started that.
I do work in controls and we were in the field way more than in the office. That is still the norm in the field I am in. There is a stipulation that they do not take dead time overhead into account. Only billable time, PTO, or approved training etc.

You must be Salary- Exempt.
Nothing illegal about what your company is doing to you, unless you're earning under something like $36k/ year.

We comp it.
Posted on 3/4/23 at 12:52 pm to East Coast Band
Retired now, but it was 1.5 hours comp time earned over 40 hours. At the age and stage of life I was in, extra PTO was more valuable to me than more money.
