@LandedGentry@lemmy.zip points out that the OP is mistaken.

Removing tax on overtime and tips are included in the bill.

But they’re pulling the same bullshit as last time. Permanent for businesses, temporary for us.

No, it's avoiding paying overtime for when they had you work overtime... Here, I'll be even more explicit for you. Imagine your company has an event and has you work 60 hours one week, but then only gives you 20 hours the next week. You worked 20 hours of overtime in the first week, but they then avoided paying you overtime by giving you less time the second week. Do you not see how averaging out the time over a longer period is in the interest of the company and not the worker?

I realize now my comment could be taken both ways, but I agree with you. They’ll get around the overtime requirement by giving you “time off”, that you won’t be paid for.

So you suffer your 12 hours day, and then they just take you off the schedule for a day later, which also fucks your over.

Okay, yeah your comment wasn't very clear.
