The proposed rule would lift the salary threshold for overtime pay from $35,568 to $55,000.

      I believe that if you make below that threshold as a salaried employee and do not receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per week, then your employer may be violating a rule.

      Wage theft is the largest category of theft in the USA.

      I’m really curious what you do where you are salaried with that low of a pay. Totally understand if you don’t want to share though.

        Sorry, not willing to share. But let’s just say it’s a very small company owned by a very large company but allowed to be autonomous. I’m the lowest paid person here despite having huge responsibilities too. I’m looking for a new job, but it’s got to be WFH. I’m on a hybrid schedule now, one of the few reasons I’ve stuck with this job for so long, and I don’t want to work in an office at all anymore.
