RE: Hourly vs. Salaried

["Pamela Sarantos" <Pamela -dot- Sarantos -at- bigbandnet -dot- com>]

Hi, 

During a lengthy lay-off period, I had a job in which I performed HR
manager duties, including verifying OT requirements.

Requirements for OT are based on the job tasks as they relate to the
goals of the company.

I recommend searching the Web for your State's Department of Employment,
which should include a link that explains the job tasks that fit into
the non-exempt and exempt positions.

Of course, everyone interprets things differently, and I believe this
issue is one of those cases.

Subject: Hourly vs. Salaried

All,

My company was recently acquired and we're going through the growing
pains of assimilating to their HR systems, among other things. My
manager was recently told by the new powers that be that we writers
should be hourly rather than salaried, which was a huge surprise to us
(since we've always been salaried). My manager thinks there may be legal
reasons for this and that the government may have defined what we do as
being an hourly-type job (to ensure we are paid OT). I was wondering if
there were many of you who were hourly or if anyone has had to "defend"
being a salaried employee. 

I did search the archives in multiple ways for this topic but always
came up with a blank page, so forgive me if this is a repeated question.

Thanks!

Michelle Parcell
