Update: By the way, the chair of the department does not have the best English skills because he is Asian and went to school in Germany, so English is probably his third language. Don't tell me not to go to RPI because of the guy's English skills, lol. Update 2: Ohh no, I know the term candidate is common...
Iowa's overtime minimum wage is $10.88 per hour, one and a half times the regular Iowa minimum wage of $7.25. If you earn more then the Iowa minimum wage rate, you are entitled to at least 1.5 times your regular hourly wage for all overtime worked.
Salaried workers who earn nearly $1,000 per week would become eligible for overtime pay under the proposal. The long-awaited overtime rule from the Labor Department would more than double the threshold at which employers can avoid paying overtime, from the current $455 a week to $970 a week by next year.
