<prompt> Human: Hi there PF,I am a salaried employee making under 47,476. I work well over 40hrs and I recently floated the idea to my boss, given that my benefits would not change, to switch me to hourly so I can actually take home what I feel Im earning. I cant potentially see any downsides. Upsides: Id bring home more cash OT. Your thoughts?  <response>: The question is will they lower the hourly rate to account for all the OT. If your hourly rate stays the same its worth it. In general most people who are salaried are getting a raw deal.
