if you are on salary and are considered a manager that can hire and fire people then you are not obligated to get paid overtime.

just so you know...

and believe me that fucking sucks.

HOWEVER, I do believe that if you work an extra day (6 day week) they have to pay you overtime?

In the wonderful world of Engineering working on salary and not being a manager, you'd have a hard time finding a company that will pay you overtime.

What the Branch does not consider:

Determining who is a manager is not based on:

The title given to a position or the fact that other employees refer to that person as a 'manager.' For example, an employee who is called a "manager of french fries" is not necessarily considered a manager.
The form of payment of wages (e.g. salary, hourly wage, commission).
The responsibility to open and close the business for the day.
An employee who is not a manager is entitled to the full range of entitlements under Parts 4 and 5, including premium wage rates for overtime and statutory holiday pay.

you should still get overtime if you are on salary, unless you have an agreement with your place of employment

Managers getting paid overtime? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... sheeeiiiit. Never heard of that EVER.

I'm a Manager -- I have 6 people reporting to me. I am salaried and are definitely not eligble for overtime. With all the travel I do as well, the most I can do is take an additional day or two off -- even then that's tough to do.

Leviathan · #13 (**permalink**) Dec 08, 06

Yeah I didn't think anyone got paid overtime in the tech industry.

^^ It doesn't go by industry... hell even salaried managers that work at a place like Telus (union-based) are not part of the union and therefore are not eligble.

Carrie · #15 (**permalink**) Dec 08, 06

actually it does depend on the industry...

farm workers, video game workers etc.. have different labour standards.

look it up it's on the web.

Anjew · #16 (**permalink**) Dec 08, 06

fight fight fight!!!

Kraig · #17 (**permalink**) Dec 08, 06

I work in video games though.

And farm works aren't paid salaries.

farmers == piece-work

dabbler · #20 (**permalink**) Dec 08, 06

salary = no overtime. its you getting paid a specific amount of money to do your work, and is not reflective of how long it takes you, or if you are a manager or not. congrat on the new office and such. where do you work?

a10aleks · #21 (**permalink**) Dec 08, 06

Congrats! =)

rawb · #22 (**permalink**) Dec 08, 06

OVERTIME IS FOR FOOD COURT WORKERS AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

I never said they did, I just said that there are different employment standards for such industry..

Well, generally speaking salary jobs don't have overtime pay. It's a win or loss situation depending on the month. lol. Only thing salary jobs get are bonuses for working stat holidays, but all workers do.
