Topic	Republicans pass bill to allow companies to not have to pay employees overtime
Erik_P 05/03/17 12:42:16 PM #26:	Smarkil posted... Erik_P posted... Sorry, but just because salaried people don't get paid OT that doesn't make it ok to fuck over hourly employees. Yeah, getting fucked so hard by the mean old corporation. Forcing you to take a vacation and be happy and shit. Or more aptly the big old mean corporation having the option to give you vacation time OR pay you overtime. Those dastardly meanies. I don't think you actually read the article. The measure, backed by Republicans, would let employers give workers paid time off instead of time-and-a-half pay the next time they put in extra hours. The vote tally was largely along party lines, with no Democrats voting in favor of the bill. Six Republicans also voted against it. They aren't saying you get a vacation instead of working OT. They're saying instead of paying you 1.5x for OT anything over 40 hours will be paid out of your vacation hours, so you lose vacation. Which means you can't take actual time off later on. --- #welchingalldayerrday <cite>Erik_P posted [p:878396981] in Republican...
