New overtime rules?

What is up with these new overtime rules?

People who are salaried and earn between $23,660 and $47,476 will have to be paid time and a half for work over 40 hours in a given week.

When was the last time they adjusted the threshold, 1975 or so?

The law is being broken a lot as is. Not where I work mind you, but I've seen and heard plenty elsewhere (and I don't mean legally complying even if by rather screwed up means like using the exempt designation. I mean the law is being broken).

They need to start enforcing it. Radical notion I know, enforcing the law, but you can have any law you like and if everyone is looking the other way ...

I am going to get a tiny raise very soon.

We're scrambling to get our payroll software updated. I've been doing this a long time and the cap was always as immutable as the ten commandments. It was going to be $50,400 in the original proposal, just to make it more difficult.

Probably not as difficult as putting in 60 hour weeks for $30k.

Though the corporate oligarchs will certainly find loopholes soon enough.

I bet they had Y2K problems as well. The century couldn't like change could it? Woah it does? Woah ...

I mean it's a novice mistake they made there hardcoding the variables. I'm tempted to say: fire the developer. Or since I'm not trying to get anyone fired maybe no raise for them this year.

I honk they should do it bankster style. Give e coder a big bonus for taking care of the problem!
