the company I work for is reclassifying SALARY workerss to hourly and fudging the hours on the time clock to automacically show 40 hours a week with NO overtime allowed. To keep these workers under the 1/1/2025 minimum salary of $58,500. Is this Legal?
This reminds me a lot of how I felt when I owned a commercial cleaning company and had 1 manager full time and 48 part-time employess, and Obamacare couldn't tell me if I was exempt with part-time vs full time. If I hit 50 and had to cover Health Insurance for part timers working like 20 hours weeks, it would of killed the company. I stopped growing the company and focusing on others things. I wonder how this relates to part-timers and 1099ers? I'd love to know out of curiosity. One solution might be to pay your people in tips and vote different this time. 🙂
Hey Steve, Scott sent this to me to put here: For part-time salaried employees, this means that if their weekly earnings fall below these thresholds, they will qualify for overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours in a week. I would be surprised if part time salaried employees fit into any of the categories appropriate for classifying them as exempt so I would need further information. In terms of 1099’s they are not employees so the company would not be classifying them as salaried employees. Again you have to be careful as to how you engage with 1099’s to ensure their independent contractor status.
