I did something here that I hate to s...@Reed Martz<br /><br />I did something here that I hate to see in other peoples posts. I was forwarded some information on this bill along with the link and too the information I was presented at face value. This lead to a knee jerk reaction and going off when maybe I didn't need too. So thank you for introducing a bit rationality into my otherwise irrational rant.<br /><br />looking over the text of the bill again ( which I'l admit, not being a legal mind is a bit confusing) it looks as though they are expanding some definitions to remove some ambiguity about a few rolls.<br /><br />That being said I think people should be aware of changes that could affect them positively or negatively. Either way thank you again for applying a level head.<br /><br />happy to be corrected<br />ITBrewerITBrewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042447250255778984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056641044983553620.post-7965053826199330642011-11-22T06:38:09.361-08:002011-11-22T06:38:09.361-08:00I think you might have misunderstood what that bil...I think you might have misunderstood what that bill is doing. Currently 13(a)(17) already exempts "computer systems analyst[s], computer programmer[s], software engineer[s], or other similarly skilled worker[s]". This bill does change the language, and it seems to expand it to include more related positions (Tom Smykowski wouldn't be happy), but the main thing it does is tack on at the end "An employee described in this paragraph shall be considered an employee in a professional capacity pursuant to paragraph (1)."<br /><br />In addition to being exempt from overtime, positions defined in 13(a) are also exempt from sexual discrimination restrictions (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode29/usc_sec_29_00000206----000-.html#d). However, 13(a)(1) is specifically selected to not be exempt from that exemption (Confusing yet?). What this bill is doing, then, is making it so that people who do fall under 13(a)(17) also get treated as if they were in 13(a)(1), and so are not exempt from sexual discrimination restrictions.Reed Martzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384226977068230104noreply@blogger.com
