Judge Moore accused of sexually assaulting/pursuing underage girls in his 30s

I wonder what would happen if he complains...

it’s a legit question

there is no reason to go to college at all if you end up working 60 hours per week with no time off and no benefits. no wonder he hates the system.

So only the college educated should be free of this? Or maybe nobody should work 60 hours per week with no time off or no benefits?

one could go to a cheaper state school and not rack up debt that will apparently never be repaid...

I'm not a wage/hour specialist, but that sounds illegal.

Not illegal if he is making more than the salary minimum for exempt status and is actually doing exempt work. If one or both of those things is not the case, then, yes, illegal to not pay overtime and provide breaks, etc.

My dad is a salaried employee specifically so he cant get overtime. He gets moved from hourly to salaried multiple times a year depending upon the "business needs" where he works.

"Business needs" isn't a legal justification for switching back and forth between exempt and non-exempt, FYI. It's about the type of duties he has.

People have jobs for a variety of reasons. It sounds like he is making quite a difference in the world.

Could he take his degree and get a job that pays more but doesn't accomplish anything? Of course, and of course there are jobs out there that are both self-fulfilling, pay well, and also contribute to the world overall, but those are far and few between in my experience. Of course he could also take a job that he isn't passionate about that pays more and volunteer for different things, but that doesn't sound like what he wants to do either.

Sounds dubious especially if his job responsibilities don’t change

Salaried he makes the equivalent of 15/hr at 40hr/wk, so 28k or so. When he is non-exempt he makes the same rate, but only works 4 days a week, and is on call the rest of the time. The only real benefit he has when salaried is that he doesnt have to come in when he is sick - though he basically has to turn his phone off when that happens. He took 3 days off this summer and had to work 2 double shifts before he left.

I'm guessing he is not actually doing exempt work. Just because he is paid a salary does not mean he is not entitled to OT/breaks.
 
What is the status of the doubling of the exempt base from $23K annually to $46K annually?

doesn’t he work in a t-mobile retail location or something?

He literally said what his new job is in the post you quoted earlier.

I work with the low income disabled community, as does my wife, mostly POC.

Although I guess you could argue that engaging as a salesman at T-Mobile would fit the first part of that description.
 
but he did choose to take a job where he works 60 hours w/ no benefits because he wanted to work in a sector doing humanitarian work, right
