I am in charge of IT at my office; staff under me are paid hourly, this has been dictated down from our human resource department. HR keeps telling me that there are new regulations not allowing IT staff to be exempt from overtime as salary employees because of massive abuse in the IT field. They also are telling me that oversight organizations are heavily monitoring for abuse. Additionally, HR forces me to have my staff get overtime approved 2 weeks in advance. I think HR read some random article somewhere and is turning opinion into fact, but I am not an expert in the salary field. I have great staff, but technically when we have a service fail late at night and my Senior Engineer restarts the service remotely we are breaking all sorts of internal rules. It is my wish to move all non-tier one staff to exempt salaries, but I need information to combat HR’s ‘they have to be hourly’ stance. Anyone out there an expert on these rules that could explain them in a comment?

God chooses physically creating Hawking rather then replacing himself with Hawking. Hey Hawking, when you start to approach a singularity with all the 'stuff' in the universe physics like we know them go out the window. I am sure that disproved God. I use to think Hawkings was very smart, then I realized he was just an Atheist always trying to disprove God. This is nothing new, maybe we will disprove this new press release from Mr Hawkings in 2 or three weeks, maybe we can't. But I still have never seen a 'God doesn't exist' article from this man.
