I read that report, and another one that was even more difficult to follow.

What I see is that it says that if your'e salaried you don't qualify for overtime.

Welcome to the real world. Heck, it's already the case that in many companies for hourly employees, they run an 8 hour day with a one hour lunch (half hour of which is mandated by law to be paid) and pay hourly employees on a 37.5 hour week ... that cuts a lot of OT right there, since it doesn't kick in until 40 hrs are worked.
