When President Barack Obama was in town on Thursday he was
talking about money because doesn’t everything revolve around money. The big question is hourly vs salary. The Department of Labor’s proposal would have
most salaried workers earning less than $50,440 to be paid time and a half for
hours greater than 40 per week. I have worked for some places that were slave
drivers when it came down to getting paid.
Being a radio personality I have been a salaried employee for most of my
career, and only in the past two jobs have I been treated fairly when it came
down to wage. There were times when I first
started in this crazy business that I was working seven days a week and about
10-12 hours a day, but I was salaried and they didn’t worry about it. I did, but that is what pushed me to try to
find a better gig. Do you think that
hourly is better than salary or other way around? Why?
