There’s an FLSA exemption for making over $107,432/week. That’s the threshold for no more overtime.
In Boston that wage is on the low side of office worker pay over 30yo.

Salaried employees aren’t the only ones that can be exempt.

I’m salaried, and collect OT. I have to log all my hours to specific contracts so we charge other groups appropriately, so we get 1.0x OT pay

Not that uncommon to be non-exempt salary. Our warehouse people are salaried but if they work over 40 get 1.5x

True, certain positions are still exempt even if they’re hourly. In my state I think it’s managers, medical workers, and IT workers plus more.
But yet, fulltime used to be 6 days a week until we changed the definition to 5 and now that’s the standard. Changing the standard is exactly what this likely will accomplish.
