Greszler: New OT regs could cost workers money, jobs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:38:18 GMT

The Biden administration is trying to hike the threshold under which hourly wage work regulations apply by about $25,000 per year. The proposed overtime rule threatens to throw millions of workers out of their salaried jobs and into hourly work, leading to lost flexibility and autonomy, benefit and wage cuts, and job losses.The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that hourly employees be paid 1.5 times their usual rate for any hours worked over 40 in a given week. Employees who receive regular salaries regardless of the hours they work are exempt from overtime requirements so long as they pass a duties test and are paid a minimum salary level.If the rule is finalized, employers who have salaried employees earning between the current threshold of $684 per week ($35,568 per year) and the proposed threshold of $1,158 per week ($60,209 per year) will have to decide whether they will convert them to hourly workers, trade salary increases for benefit cuts or eliminate their jobs.

Most computers are date sensitive and in the ‘60s at the beginning of computers, they used things called Hollerith cards, which only had 80 digits of information.“To save space on these cards, they dropped the first two digits of the year date. So 1968 became 68. The fear was that when computers switched over from 99 to 00, the computers would think it was 1900 and that would of course throw all our date dependent systems into disarray.“The question was, What does happen? If computers just shut down, do nuclear missiles go off? That technical problem then translated...
