Sounds like they are converting you to salary at 14.00 an hour in order to avoid OT rules.

If that is the case, they need to raise that number a lot.

(12.92×40) + (19.38×8) = 671.84

14×40= 560.

If they want you on salary, demand at a minimum 125% of that 671 number, as they will abuse it. Min 800 - 850 weekly salary

Its not just about numbers though. There are labor laws that dictate whether a position is eligible to be salaried and exempt from OT or must be hourly subject to OT rules.

Bingo. First company I worked for after college was salary and my manager forced OT on shit that was his job.

Maybe a year into being there we get switched to hourly and suddenly he was on your ass to clock out. I left about a year later and shortly thereafter got a letter from the DOL that I could take legal action if I choose to. Would have cost me more to get a lawyer for what amounted to a couple grand so I didn’t bother.
