Can the way you’re paid have an effect on insurance?

Question

Husbands employer switched him to salary. He said it have to do with getting a break on health insurance. Is this true?

Answer 1

Yes it could be true.  He needs to get some facts. What is he paying and will he be paying once he is on a salary.

If he works a lot of overtime, he may not get paid for those hours once he is salary. Something to get clear with his boss.

Answer 2

If you are in the US, people are generally paid hourly/salary based on the job duties someone performs.  The Fair Labor Standards Act regulations determine what are hourly (non-exempt) type jobs and salaried (exempt) type jobs.

Sometime there is an analysis of people's job duties that causes the re-classification.

- Your husband's insurance may change as a result.
