Millions more Americans to be eligible for overtime pay

Word. We do 38.75 hour weeks, but I'm guessing yours goes the other way.

Nah, my weeks have been < 40 since I left investment banking 4 years ago - I'm at about 35 now.

Does non-commute travel time count as work?

My new job is going to be exempt We do get a 2nd rate pay though if we work extra...though its a couple bucks more than regular time.

I thought the same thing until one day I get a class action lawsuit against an employer of mine for this same issue. Apparently the title I had was deemed not salary worthy and I was due OT pay for x amounts of weeks for x amounts of years.

I'm waiting to get overtime for all the hours over 40 per week that I worked while employed as an infantry soldier. I mean, the federal government wouldn't force rules on the private sector that it wouldn't hold itself to right?

Most of the federal civilian workforce is exempt.

I am at about 50 hours minimum but I get in there and get rolling and the time just flies by.

This thread makes me feel super blessed to be making my own hours, without a daily commute, other than the walk from our bedroom to the office, with fairly regular half day lunches. Amway rocks!
