If you're a learned professional (matching all of the three criteria on the page - one of which is salaried), artist/creative, teacher, law/medicine practioner, or are highly compensated (making > $100,000/year) overtime doesn't apply to you.
At least, that's what I got out of the page.
- jobeyonekenobi 15y agoThe definition of Overtime is actually getting paid, yes? The law I am referring to over in the E.U is actually working, full stop - paid or not. I am at a position where I am not paid any overtime - I'm still not allowed to be present at work for more than 70 hours a week. Does nothing like this exist in the U.S? As in, you could technically work 168 hours with no legal ramifications?
- rpwilcox 15y agoFrom the US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division: http://www.dol.gov/whd/flsa/ http://www.dol.gov/whd/flsa/ > There is no limit on the number of hours employees 16 years or older may work in any workweek. So, disregarding overtime, yes: you could technically work 168 hours a week with no legal ramifications.
