The amount of underpaid/unpaid overtime I’ve heard of is terrible. At this point I will always ask if someone gets paid 1.5x if they’re hourly working overtime, or if they’re classed as salary exempt from OT pay. The former is blatantly illegal yet still happens often enough, while the latter can be legal but is usually taken advantage of with no compensated days.
