This was the case I stumbled on, the last week of my employment in 2008. It’s been a long time ago, but that article should give you some solid leads.
here is the DOL document on it https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/17e-overtime-computer
here an even longer GOV article about it https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/subtitle-B/chapter-V/subchapter-A/part-541
Not going to read all that AGAIN, spent the last night I worked for the company in my hotel room reading all of them, and writing up a document to give to the CFO the following day.
There is some details like you may have to make under $28 an hour I think.. it’s a worthwhile read if you may remotely be eligible. I have preplanned stuff to do today, so I don’t have the time to reread all the documents and details..
The company I went after was relocating out of state, and I found this on a Wednesday, that Friday was to be my last day. So they had to give me my severance package, 199 weeks of unemployment, plus a nice little extra check.
Imagine finding this just hours from being permanently laid off, right as the 2008 crash hit, and everyone was unable to find jobs. It was a real blessing in my life, and I haven’t paid one dime in rent/mortgage since the settlement. 14 years of no rent or mortgage is definitely life changing.
