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

The problem is that if you are employed by places like Wal-Mart, you are considered a full-time employee at 28 hours and, therefore, aren't eligable for OT. Try living on those wages and working 40 hours/week so that you can't hold a second job.

Oh, and you are eligable for benefits at W-M once you are considered full time. Their healthcare plan is great: 20/80 coverage!

...oh, what's that? They pay the 20%? Ouch.
