That argument doesn’t really make sense.
- X6S1x6Okd1st 7y ago1) paid time is taxed 2) unpaid overtime is not taxed 3) untaxed work effectively evades taxes 4) unpaid overtime is tax evasion. which step don't you agree with?

- antidesitter 7y agoI misread the comment.
- esoterica 7y ago1) Wages are taxed, not work. If there is no money paid there is no tax evasion. 2) Unpaid overtime is not really unpaid unless your employment agreement explicitly states that you are not supposed to work more than 40 hours. If you get paid $100k to work 50 hours, then you are getting paid $100k to work 50 hours, not $100k to work the first 40 and $0 to work the next 10. Your comp is payment all the hours you work, not just the first 40.
- X6S1x6Okd1st 7y agoAt least in the US, not sure about the EU, but unless your profession is explicitly exempt salaried employees are still owed overtime. Unless a job explicitly states the number of hours an employee is to work it's assumed it's 40 hours. Of course there are exceptions, such as programmers.
