#Salaryed

This is one of those things that sounds great first, but comes with some very nasty fine print. Your job “promotes” you to some kind of assistant manager or higher title. Then they switch you from hourly to salary. Sounds cool! But then you realize… You’re not getting overtime pay no matter how much you work! That’s the trick. Some employers will switch you from salary to hourly, mark you as exempt, then refuse to pay overtime when you work long hours. But there’s a problem! They can’t do that unless you make at least a minimum salary amount (varies by state, the federal minimum is $35,568 per year, in California it’s $68,640). But that’s not all! You also need to have the right job duties. Usually that’s office based work that gives you some independent discretion. If you have zero freedom in how to do your job or your job is mostly manual labor, it’s probably illegal to refuse to pay overtime (some exceptions apply.) Have you ever been a victim of a scam like this? How did it turn out? The problem is most American workers don’t know their rights or how to enforce them.

Yes, salary workers can still get paid overtime. 👀 #Overtime #Salary #EmploymentLaw #WorkersRights

As a workers rights lawyer, I see every trick in the wage theft playbook. Here’s a common one that might have affected YOU: Switching you from hourly to salary, but it’s not really a “promotion.” They just want more hours without paying you overtime! But that’s illegal! To be exempt from overtime, they can’t just pay you a salary and call it a day. You MUST meet a legally recognized exemption. The most common of these is the administrative professional or “white collar office worker” exemption. The employer MUST pay you at least $684 / week (more in some states) AND you must have primarily office related duties, which includes having some independent discretion in how you do your job. Has an employer ever played this trick at your job? How did you handle it? The problem is most American workers don’t know their rights or how to enforce them.

The biggest myth in the workplace? That 'Salary' equals 'No Overtime.' 💸 If your job duties don't match your 'Exempt' status, you could be owed years of back pay. Don't let your employer pocket your hard-earned time. Let the brothers fight for you!
