No, happens in annual audits to limit liability for not paying overtime. It can be a great thing if they leave salary alone and now you can earn overtime on top. in some case, your wages will go up if there is a decent amount of overtime required.
Just make sure other perks tied to salaries are remaining, like a higher accrual rate for time off.
i’m in HR and say it’s a good deal!

Thank you! That was my thought also as I do work OT each week but wanted to be sure I wasn't overlooking something.
