DO most employers want to get this right? Based on the fact that wage theft is the largest form of theft even with everything else combined, I think that’s either a lie or a stupid thing to say.
Also, I just don’t understand under what circumstances anyone should be exempt from overtime. Is there some group of people who are less deserving of getting paid for their time that I am unaware of? Even (shudder) managers should probably get paid.
They want to get it right so they absolutely never have to pay anyone overtime for any reason ever.
DO most employers want to get this right?
Since MOST companies are small and privately held I’d say yeah, most of them probably do. The issue is mostly with large publicly traded companies and because they have so many employees their cheating is what drives the statistics you quoted.
That doesn’t mean a small company won’t ever try to cheat because they will, I’m just saying that the smaller companies who are closer to their workers and don’t have “shareholders” are far less likely to shiv someone over their OT.
based on annual wages … do you think they will pony up the OT owed if an employee falls under the cap?
also Employers absolutely do NOT want this or they would be doing it already without the law forcing the issue.
Most employers absolutely do want to get this right.
The only mention of employers is them engaging in profit-seeking.
But remember: Most employers absolutely do want to get this right. Whatever the fuck that means. We’ll plaster the quote everywhere.
I just found out that ‘seasonal’ businesses such as theme parks don’t have to pay overtime! They are often staffed by young people from other countries. It’s some bullshit.
Good for the workers. They deserve it.
So this is only for salaried employees that are not in managerial positions?
Suddenly, my giant ass raise earlier this year makes a lot more sense
