Are Coders Exempt From California's Overtime Laws?

Posted by Cliff on from the a-hole-in-the-loop dept.

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?"

    No doubt we have our own style of socialism here in the USA. However, our welfare state is still drastically smaller than that of France or Germany. France and Germany can continue to support such a large welfare state by depending on the US for military support. If France and Germany had to provide 100% for their own defense I think their welfare state would shrink as well.
