Trump just rolled back overtime pay. Now, workers like me need Gov. Murphy to protect us.
This month the Trump Administration continued its attacks on America's workers with a new rule that lets big corporations continue to make millions if their employees work more than 40 hours a week without any extra pay for their hard work and dedication. President Trump says that if you make more than $35,000 a year, you're a highly paid executive who doesn't need overtime pay. Workers like me need Gov.

More People Just Became Eligible for Overtime Pay. Did You?
In September 2019, the Department of Labor announced it was raising the minimum salary level for exempt employees—making more people non-exempt, and thus eligible for FLSA protections: specifically, overtime pay.

As Baltimore police staffing shortages kept rising in recent years, officers kept picking up the slack, in some cases doubling their salaries. Overtime cost the department nearly $50 million in the past fiscal year alone, and the city never disclosed just how many hours each officer recorded.
A Baltimore Sun analysis of every hour of overtime paid over the past two fiscal years shows for the first time the outsize workloads logged by individual officers, often with little oversight from supervisors. One officer averaged more than 45 hours a week in overtime for an entire year on top of his regular time. Four more were paid for more than 2,000 hours of overtime, and at least 25 recorded 1,700 hours or more.

Most jobs in America have rules associated with them that are governed by the Fair Labor Standards Act . Based on these rules, jobs are categorized as either exempt or nonexempt.
