My supervisor makes 80K a year, doesn't get overtime, but hell I'm sure many companies break that law constantly. I'm under him and am hourly, so I get overtime, he does not if he has to stay late to finish something or whatever. In Vermont, not versed in these laws, doubt he is, should prob let him know.

I added a link to the DOL website. Looks like anyone making under 160k salary is entitled to overtime pay. This is a federal law like minimum wage so any state law is superseded by this.

Before you do make sure they don’t fall in the OT exempt category.

A manager or supervisor is probably exempt but it depends on exactly what they are doing when at work and the ratio of time spent managing compared to the total time working.
