<prompt> Human: My job place is creating a new category of employment in which: Employees who were not eligible for overtime, now are. We will remain salaried, and on the same pay schedule. Vacation, sick time, disability benefits will extended. What pitfalls should I look out for or be asking about? Im really nervous about this.  <response>: This is the result of the new law that kicks in Dec 1. Most likely, they are just meeting to review the implications of the law, as well as their decision to keep you at your existing salary. My guess is that theyve done the math and believe that its cheaper to pay youyour colleagues for overtime than raise your salaries to the new threshold 46 or 47-ish K. Things to watch out for... making sure to report any time worked over 40 hours--and only working exactly 40 hours if thats all they will pay you for. Also no off the books comp time, as that can have a funny way of not working to the employees advantage.Again, its most likely an informational meeting, and they are simply reviewing the law and office implicationspolicies. Google new overtime law to familiarize yourself with it.
