Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Management and OT

Who are the Mgrs that have signed a contract guaranteeing them OT after 40 hours? Or what organizations have promised that? Or better yet what laws are being broken if a Mgr works extra without getting OT pay?

There are non exempt managers... and do get unlimited OT. I.e. CSD which is the specialist for Call Centers. We also get a pretty healthy bonus every year. Though... I am hearing that our job is not safe any longer and to start looking within company for other jobs. So there's that.

“ Pros and Cons of Tracking Exempt Time

There are, however, pros and cons to requiring exempt employees to track their time. The primary concern would be that requiring exempt employees to track and report hours worked may create a perception that the employee is not truly functioning with the discretion and independence necessary to qualify as an exempt employee. This is a factor the Department of Labor (DOL) or a court might consider in a close case.

Additional negative aspects of requiring exempt employees to track their time include:

It may create a morale issue among a class of employees who find this demeaning; and

If the employee actually is working a lot of hours, the record you are creating may someday be used against you if you have misclassified the employee.”

The federal fair labor standards act has very specific descriptions regarding what kind of work duties an employee must be performing to be exempt from overtime pay. Classifying employees as exempt or not shouldn't be arbitrary. It does happen that employers get it wrong. Flsa lawsuits are common with employment lawyers. If your specific work duties meet the exemption test, you don't have to be paid overtime.

I was told L2/L3 OT is limitless.

There are definitely non-exempt managers at AT&T. They are entitled to OT.

I am not one of them.

The only managers I know of that are eligible for OT are some L1s. They are also associated with Call Centers. I don't know of any L2+ that are eligible for OT.

Not all managers are exempt. Some managers are non-exempt, for example Design Engineers and RAN Engineers.

Mgmt employees are considered “Exempt”

What Does Exempt Mean?

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was enacted in 1938 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “New Deal.” The law introduced several significant changes, including standards for minimum wage, overtime pay, record-keeping and child labor rules for employees both in the private sector and in federal, state and local governments. It also included standards for exempt and non-exempt employees. The technical definition of exempt means to be free from an obligation or liability which, in the case of the FLSA, specifically includes overtime pay. Employers must correctly classify their employees as one or the other, or they run the risk of accruing compliance violations.

Hourly people have to get overtime if they work over, salary people there's other rules. Some hourly people are allowed to work overtime but limited and if they do they get paid for it. If an hourly person that's not supposed to do overtime does overtime they get paid for it but normally get counseled for it. I hope that helps
