90% of my company is salary

This 32 hour workweek act will not apply to you. It only applies to non-exempt workers as it’s an amendment to FLSA. FLSA provides exemptions to overtime based on income or certain responsibilities. It’s also very often mis-applied by businesses who do not want to pay workers for overtime and very rarely challenged.

My industry is IT. It’s very common that IT support workers making under the income threshold are given exempt status even though their responsibilities are not exempt job duties. There are a shitload of IT support workers.
