Are Coders Exempt From California's Overtime Laws? 693
Gizmo Kid asks: "How many of you Californian, full-time, software programmers are getting paid overtime? From what I understand, a law in California, passed within the last two years, says that software engineers who make less than $41/hour [PDF version] are required to be paid for overtime? Are your employers following the rules? I'm not sure mine is?"

Don't ask me, buddy - I'm not sure if he's following the rules, either!

You don't know whether you're being paid overtime? Maybe you aren't a software engineer. Does your job involve computers? Just because you work with a large flat surface that you cook hamburgers on doesn't mean it's a Pentium 66.

your manager occasionally comes down from on high
to mingle with the commoners. Make sure to kiss
the feet of your corporate masters who see fit to
pay you at all. Remember, you are just a smartass
know it all computer person and people like you are
literally a dime a dozen in India. You'll bend over
if you know what's good for ya.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING OUT FOR US CORPORATE AMERICA!!
