Boss promotes all hourly employees to salary, workers find out 6 months later that he lied: 'Because he was now “salary,” we didn’t see compensation for those extra hours'

It sounds like this boss isn't going to have his job for much longer. These hourly employees work for a nonprofit where they do manual labor outside all day long. Their boss announced to them that they all were being promoted to salaried employees, and the team couldn't have been more excited. Who wouldn't be happy about a promotion? Being salaried means you can finally take PTO time without the guilt of taking a day off for yourself and being unpaid. That's a huge win for the OP (Original Poster) and his wife, who are struggling to make ends meet. None of the employees thought much about it, as they never had a reason to not believe their boss. Until the entitled boss made one little mistake. An employee noticed that his paycheck was a whole week short. But how does that happen when you're on salary? Spoiler: it doesn't.
