Texas judge blocks Biden administration's overtime protection rule
A federal judge in Texas is blocking a rule enacted by President Joe Biden earlier this year that provides overtime pay protection for roughly four million American workers.
You're viewing a single thread.
How is it that a third world country Ike mine pays overtime pay to all employees who work beyond the standard 8 hour work day. 25% of the hourly rate is added to the hours of overtime, plus a night differential rate if you work past 11 pm. +30% if you have to do work during a holiday.
Not being paid for overtime work is very slavery to me.
The reasoning of the judge is because the companies will have to pay billions in OT pay. Fuck them.
We do get overtime pay, this rule was for a very specific segment of workers who were exempt. Being salaried and making under a certain amount. Hourly employees get time and a half for every hour past 40 in a week, federally.
The salaried exception floor hasn't been raised in forever, it needs to go way up.
What country? Do you offer political asylum to people fleeing dictatorial regimes?
Well we currently have the son of the former dictator as a president so there's that.
Does he seem like he's going to do better than his dad?
Sounds like the Philippines.
I assumed it was, but since the poster didn't mention it, I figured they might have their reasons to be vague.
How? Your government is probably not as captured.
It's been the law for 50 years.
That can change. Don't let it.
