[QUOTE="Hoosierfrog, post: 2718803, member: 59"] [SIZE=6][B]Salaried Employees[/B][/SIZE] Just because you are paid a salary does not mean that you are not entitled to overtime pay. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that 86% of the American workforce--about 115 million employees--is covered by federal overtime rules. This includes salaried employees and white-collar workers.

Small businesses make up the largest number of employers. As a result, untold numbers of salaried employees should be paid overtime pay and are not. Under federal overtime law and Texas overtime law, salaried employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in any workweek unless two specific requirements are met: (1) the salary exceeds $455 per workweek; and (2) the employee performs duties satisfying one of the narrowly-defined FLSA overtime exemptions (e.g. [URL='https://www.dol.gov/whd/overtime/fs17a_overview.pdf']executive, administrative, professional[/URL], etc).
