That's just fine for (software) engineers, but I can't imagine this going well for an employee in a employer's market.

- yetihehe 6y agoIt depends on where you work. In most of europe, overtime is paid more than normal salary, even 1.5x. If your employer is forcing you to have unpayed overtime, he will have big problems.

- ma2rten 6y agoRight. It's the same in the US, but if you make over $35,568 your position can be exempt from this. OP is asking if being exempt is a scam.
- oehtXRwMkIs 6y agoIf you read the article it talks about exempt vs non-exempt and how salaried workers that make over $35,568 and do "higher-level work" are exempt from overtime. Those that are not exempt get 1.5x pay for overtime and 2x for double overtime (e.g. overtime on holiday). So in the US overtime is always 1.5x but many salaried workers simply don't get overtime.
- burntoutfire 6y agoThat's some XIX-century level exploitation right there... As if the workers rights movements never happened in the US (or they did, but for some reason only for manual workers and not white collar).
- valesco 6y agoIt’s exactly the same in France with the « cadre » status.
- burntoutfire 6y agoIn Poland we have an exception as well, but it's for C-level managers only. How does it work France?
- valesco 6y agoWell the cadre status is is the same way as the exempt. It’s easy to reach the point where you can ‘qualify’ for it, unfortunately.
- iso1210 6y agoIf I get called at a weekend for say an hour or so, I get a choice - either 6 hours salary or a day off in lieu. If it's a 5 minute call I don't bother with anything official, just have a couple of hours off during the week.
