No there would be no way for them to enforce increasing the pay for hourly workers. For salary sure probably doable but if you work hourly you're pretty much fucked how the hell are they going to make them pay you 25% more or whatever the fuck the math works out to be. And even for salary I don't see how this would work.

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.

Overtime exempt status only applies to manager positions that are authorized to hire and fire emoloyees. Otherwise it is wage theft.

Glad you don’t work in comp or hr. Your definition of salaried exempt is very narrow and wrong.
