Legal question ?

New pay system in place and its hourly base / commission incentive but no overtime any one know what loop hole ? I consider this hobby related as its fucking with my hobby money. Thanks for any info.

Loophole is probably the commission part of the deal.

Yea that's what I was thinking too just trying to get more info from anybody who might know the legal system and labor laws

The law divides almost all employees into two categories - Exempt or Nonexempt. If you are a "Nonexempt" employee and work over 40 hours in a workweek, you are generally entitled to overtime pay. It is that simple.
Overtime is supposed to be paid at time-and-a-half of your regular rate of pay. So, if you make $10 per hour, you should get $15 per hour for every hour you work over 40 hours per week.
The Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") is the federal law governing the payment of minimum wage and overtime payments. As a general rule, the FLSA requires an employer to pay an employee overtime compensation for all "hours worked" in excess of 40 hours in a workweek, unless that employee is "Exempt" from the law. The law also provides that employees can recover double damages and attorneys fees if an employee sues under the FLSA to recover unpaid overtime or wages.
