thanks shrekfiona and ramalla76 for your inputs. lets see what other chain employees have to see apart from walgreens.

i went through the department of labor site http://www.dol.gov/esa/minwage/america.htm which shows that california state has that 1.5 times rate for overtime. so i guess you must be talking about california. It doesn't apply to florida and some other states i guess.

i also read an article in pharmacy times - http://www.pharmacytimes.com/Article.cfm?Menu=1&ID=3405
and some more where it has been mentioned that the law has changed now and employers can classify pharmacists earning more than 65,000 $ annually as exempt from the different pay rate for overtime.

well i am searching for more official sources to confirm that. so long as it doesn't effect california i am happy since i want to be in california

.

guys i appreciate thy inputs and would like some more from people working in other chains.
