A proposal from the Labor Department would make an estimated 3.6 million salaried workers newly eligible for overtime pay. It covers workers earning less than $55,000 per year.

      You’re not wrong, but that only applies to teachers in low cost of living areas. High cost of living teachers start at $55k these days.

      I also wonder how it would work. My wife clocks in when she gets to school and clocks out when she leaves, but she still lesson plans and grades papers at home.

          Not a teacher, but I’m salaried and have to log every hour each day. Ours is for contract and project costing purposes though
