for the part of NO, I'm sure of it. As to this one, I've always been horrified by employers trying to escape their obligations by 'promoting' the lowliest floor sweeper to a manager of some kind. The fed's definition of managerial status requires a lot of discretionary powers on the part of any such individual. In the matter of so-called independent contractors, that stinkbomb won't fly when you have no control over your working hours and such beyond just saying "Yes, boss". And those fast food owners paying their employees in meal coupons? Don't anyone ever ask me why I deplore the GOP or I might just explode.
