Thanks for replying. One of my first questions above was your location. Can you give me a location please. Just a State will do.

Ok, here are the laws as they appear now.

http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/fairpay/main.htm

Texas Laws.

I would also suggest contacting the Texas Department of Labor direct as well. If they are subcontracted out or paid by the job this may not apply. The best way to know for your specific State is to call.

This is correct. The amount is based on the total yearly salary.

Under the new FairPay rules, workers earning less than $23,660 per year - or $455 per week - are guaranteed overtime protection.

However, since they are in a trade area I would strongly suggest calling your local texas department of labor to verify this. Certain trades are exempt thus the need to verify at the Texas level for your States Code on this.
