Yep, there was a complex formula, and some people in other states got as little as $400, where those who hit all the right categories (salary grade, state, program, etc.) got as much as $10,000. I got 5k and considered myself lucky.
Laurence said:No, we were all exempt, the argument was explained to me that while as exempt employees we could be expected to do unpaid overtime to meet needs, they could not mandate unpaid overtime in the way they did. I don't speak legaleze, but I am not confused as to my exempt/non exempt status. There were very specific requirements to participate in the class action, and you had to be salary grades between x-y, which were all exempt positions. Hourly employees were excluded from the lawsuit because they were paid for their overtime (and consequently didn't get much of it).
In those terms, as an ER your time is worthless.just_hatched said:So hopefully, eventually it won't matter to us what "salary" means!
