To clear something up.....

15 x 40 = 600

(12 x 32) + (15 x 8) = 504

Isn't the $15 an hour better than what it was before the law was rolled out?

Not sure about your math on that one. It was time and a half, so at $12 an hour you’d be making $18 an hour on Sunday’s.

Anyways, change it to $16 and:

16 X 40 = 640

(16 X 32) + (24 X 8) = 704

Yeah I screwed that up. By why are you using 16? The reason they don't do time and half is because it's 16. So you'd have to do the math of what it was before. And that was $12. Not 16.

I'm making the point that people not making minimum wage are negatively affected.
