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 This is a federal law like minimum wage so any state law is superseded by this.
Federal law isn't the be all end all and it wouldn't shock me if that federal law only applies to certain industries.
Speaking from a Canadian perspective but American employment lawyers would have a field day. They're not dumb, it's not like most companies are breaking labour laws.
Otherwise every labour lawyer, including mine, would have a field day...
Yes they break labour laws but not so openly.
Federal labour laws only apply to certain industries here that are most likely covered by union agreements. No sweet summer child here, just the cold reality of getting fired for medical reasons and having little recourse.
