In his email, he stated the following. "Sen. Kay Hagan (D) has introduced a bill that would make IT workers ineligible for overtime pay. Those covered by the bill are classified as IT, programmer, software, hardware, development, network, engineer, analyst, database, security (pretty much anything except repair and manufacture). If they get a salary, or hourly pay at least $27.63/hour, they wouldn't be able to collect overtime pay. If the bill passes, it would have significant effect in RTP." He is hoping to talk to a few tech workers who put in a lot of overtime and the bill would make a difference in their take-home pay. He is interested to know the following from tech workers. 1. What is your job title and nature of your work? 2. How many hours a week do you typically work? 3. What's the most hours you've ever worked? 4. How often do you work overtime or over 40 hours? 5. Do you typically get overtime pay? 6. If Sen. Hagan's bill passes and your OT is cut off, how would that affect you? (Would it cut your pay by 10%? 25% 50%?). He's looking for local workers who would be affected by a change in the law and not looking for policy analysis or punditry. If interested, please call him at 919-829-8932 or email him at jmurawski@newsobserver.com. cheers, Todd Thigpen SHADES OF STARTREK - NASA Aims To Build Tractor Beam Gathered 01/25/2012: Gives quiz questions correct answer donates 20 grains of rice through the UN Baby Plays with Puppy Gathered 01/24/2012: Lonely Planet’s top 10 unusual beaches NTSB To States: Ban ALL Driver Use Of Mobile Phones - YEAH!
