 Like "Clear Skies", "Healthy Forests" and "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth", the new overtime rules have a nice Orwellian name:  "Fair Pay: Overtime Security for the 21st Century Workforce"

Some of the Rule Changes Giving Overtime "Security" Include:

Any employee who earns between $23,660 and $100,000 a year, and who is in an executive, professional, or administrative position, is not eligible for overtime.

Managers are not entitled to overtime if they oversee two or more people and have the authority to hire, fire, or recommend that someone be hired or fired.

Administrative employees who have decision-making power and run some sort of operation are not eligible.

Employees whose job requires imagination, invention, originality, or artistic or creative endeavors are not eligible for overtime.

Employees whose main duties are computer-related and involve the implementation, analysis, development, or application of computer systems or designs are also not eligible for overtime.

Sales staff that regularly work outside of the employer's place of business are, you guessed it, not eligible either.
