My company has advised me of a new Fair Labor standard and I wanted to know if this is true. It affects overtime pay for a IT consultant who is paid hourly and not on salary.
This is a quote for my operations manager.
“The exemption is as per the Department of Labor under the Fair Labor Standards Act and it applies to Computer/IT Professionals who make over 27.63/hour”.
I worked a few hours of overtime a few weeks ago and noticed that I was payed straight pay for the overtime. I am not aware of this regulation and i’m hoping som eof my peers in the IT field can shed some light on this for me.
Thank you,
The Suite.
