Programmers Get Paid Overtime!
Perhaps for the first time in history, programmers will be paid overtime! The programmers that sued EA Games for overtime pay won their case! This could have huge ramifications for IT workers that are often asked to work many days of long hours without any overtime pay because they are not hourly employees. I’m not sure what the short-term impact will be but I’m sure any payroll-submitting manager of IT staff that works their people to the bone will have to take notice. I spent a major chunk of my 20s working late nights and weekends for small software start-ups and dot.coms for no extra pay.
