    I guess I read it backward, but $55k still seems like a low cap. Of course, for this to work at all that would mean the salaried employee would still need to punch a clock, which is annoying.

      I will happily take the 5 seconds it takes to punch a clock if that means I’m not having to work for free.

        That might depend on how often you work overtime and if you sometimes dip out early for stuff, which could be used against you.
