Actually when I first started in the restaurant business I worked for what we at the time, excuse the expression, "Chinese Overtime", and I agree with the president that the threshold should be higher than $23K but I do wish this pendejo would use congress to legislate instead of his executive bureaucracy.

I think there might be a misunderstanding, lots of businesses do not pay OT to Managerial personnel because they are on a fixed salary. They can be required to work tons of OT without extra compensation, this can encourage business to take advantage of these employees. I'm I on the right track here or am I not understanding this?

There must be a bit of union in me. There is no way an individual making 23 grand should be listed as an exempt employee. Exempt employees should be making the salary of a professional level employee. Some entry level professionals may make as low as the 30's (City employees come to mind), so I would say $35,000 would be a good level....but not $50,000. There are times when the NLRB should adjust things like this. I would prefer for Congress to make these changes, however. I'd like to see Obama take this to a Republican Congress.

Usually when you are promoted to manager you have an opportunity to make more money via bonuses, commission, profit sharing or any other number of motivating tools. The left hates this because they think mediocrity should be rewarded the same as a guy who busts his ass and has pride in his ability and self responsibility. All things the left hates.
Especially Nak nak!

I left a union job in a warehouse to go salary and inside sales then purchasing for a great company which opened a whole opportunity for me to eventually go from $5.00/hr union warehouse dead end job to own my own business and eventually 120K/yr. straight commission. That was over thirty years ago. Obama wants to take all those opportunities away with regulation and total control.

Also, to be an 'exempt employee', you must have the ability and authority to hire and fire and supervise at least 2.
If you don't supervise and can't hire and fire, you can make a salary of 100,000 and still must be paid for overtime.

People should make a living wage. If you work full time you should be making a wage that lifts you above the poverty line. You should also be paid extra for working extra hours.
When people have money they spend money Win-Win...

Don't forget, if you are on a salary, you are being paid for doing a job, whether it takes 30 hours or 60 hours.
When you are paid hourly, your boss owns every second of your time for the time you are at work.
