This could cost you if you have been getting overtime. Now they don't have to pay you for it...you might have to take time off instead.

That's great for big business...thank you!

House Republicans passed a bill on Tuesday that would let employers in the private-sector give workers paid time off instead of overtime pay.
The bill passed 229 to 197, and was largely along party lines, the Washington Post reports. No Democrats voted for the bill, and only six Republicans voted against it.

Well that would really screw workers in the oil field since their checks are dependent on 44+ hours a week in overtime pay.

I read about this just before the vote and simply cannot believe what is happening to all of us who work for an hourly wage. Basically, your employer can work you sixty hours one week and twenty hours the next and call that forty hours each week.

It is amazing how few people have commented on this post. Where are all of the president's supporters? Surely there must be a good reason for this, that somehow it is good for the economy and Trump is playing 12D chess and we should wait and see...

Wouldn't be sweating it yet if I was a wage earner.
Most state have their own laws governing OT etc.

Now in TX, the only state I'm certain of, wage
laws mirror fed law for the most part. Texas
is an employer freindly state.

CA is the polar opposite of TX in regard
to employment laws.

They hourly worker has been screwed.
The ones who want the 1.5/hour won't get offered OT.
The ones who take the leave will be forced to work OT but take leave when they don't want it, only when they aren't needed.

Good job, these are our so-called leaders at work

Re: Do you get overtime pay? You might want to read about how the House just screwed you.
This is exactly why I work for myself and work out of my home.

My wife's boss tried to get her to come in for extra work on a weekend (she earns a salary), but luckily when she first started I had a big talk with her boss about this and said it wasn't going to happen. I went in with her and in front of the HR person she explained that she would take the job ONLY if it ended at 5:00pm during the week and did NOT include extra work on the weekends. So now, when they want her to work after 5:00pm or take a weekend on call shift they have to pay her overtime or she simply won't do it.

I'm not sure how long this is going to last, but she's been raking in the dough the last few months.

This is exactly right.

Then the companies insurance goes way up, taxes up, have to find more qualified workers. Sounds like shit to the employee and employer.
