Reply to comment by Uncoolx2 in WA Patient Dies in Understaffed ER Lobby, County Council Pens Letter of "Disappointment" by vegetefubberyhi01

When the state changed what are exempt roles, some of my dad's colleagues became hourly and made absolute bank in overtime. Overtime is how cops make so much money (some over $300k)

And overtime exempt salary positions is how you bilk the same people out of tons of overtime pay.

At a minimum wage of $15.74/hour a person would have to work over 26 hours a week in overtime to meet the exempt rate.
