    This happens in america now in many states. In mine, if you are a salary employee who does not to the main thing that earns the company profit, so any support roles like HR, Accounting, Management, etc., then you are exempt from the provision that requires you be paid overtime.

    In my state its also legal for an employer to fire someone who refuses to work overtime. There is only a requirement that hourly employees are paid for overtime.

    My company tries to trick people into salary positions because they think its a better deal, and most of them end up making less than the hourly workers when averaged per hour.
