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.
It has been increased only once since 1975. The salary threshold for the exemption to the overtime protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act has eroded to such a levelâ$455 per week, or $23,660 for someone who works year-roundâthat it is currently less than the poverty threshold for a family of four.
