2x minimum wage for a 40 hour work week is the salary threshold. If you make less your employer is breaking the law. In California the salary threshold is currently $64,480.
I believe that if you make below that threshold as a salaried employee and do not receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per week, then your employer may be violating a rule.
Wage theft is the largest category of theft in the USA.
Salary threshold? I’m salaried. I don’t get overtime. Neither do a lot of other salaried people.

I’m bad at math, but I’m pretty sure I make more than that. I live in Indiana. Minimum wage is sickeningly low. $7.25/hr.
That’s federal minimum wage. So it’s the $35,568 from the article which Biden is trying to raise to $55,000.
Do you make more than $35,568?
I do not. My job sucks and I deserve higher pay.

I wouldn’t be shocked if there was wage theft going on, but there’s also no way to record my hours. No one to keep track of it.
Why aren’t you keeping track of it? The labor board exists. Use it.
That sounds remarkably convenient for your employer.
Like I said, the job sucks.
I’m really curious what you do where you are salaried with that low of a pay. Totally understand if you don’t want to share though.
