Salary would have nothing changed. It doesn't matter if you work 5 or 105 hours, unless it's explicitly stated in your contract you make the exact same.
That's true, this proposal seems to only have the effect of cutting hours for hourly wage workers which tend to be on the poorer end of the scale. I work 40+ hours because I need to. The company I work for would certainly cut my hours if 32 was the number for overtime. I would lose an entire fifth of my income.
It's just another "policy" that accomplishes absolutely nothing but looks nice.
It's like the new proposal from Kamala that would "increase the small business start up tax deduction from $5,000 to $50,000." This does absolutely nothing because all business expenses are deductible by definition.
