> Salary can include tasks like this So lets say that it just magically happens that when YOU are on call, stuff breaks all the time but when its your coworkers it doesn’t. You are all paid the same, does it seem fair to you now? Unless it’s written in paper where a salaried worker will be getting X extra per hour you are just working for free. The definition of a salaried worker in the US is having 40hrs of total work time averaged throughout a year. | ||

>The definition of a salaried worker in the US is having 40hrs of total work time averaged throughout a year. I think we got to the heart of things. This is absolutely not true! Not legally, and not in practice. There are Overtime exempt salaried positions and non-exempt positions [1]. An exempt salary position position pays more than $685/week and means you do the "the role" however your employer defines it. That can be 40 hours, 80 hours, or whatever they choose. It can require you live on-site for the whole year. | ||
