Nope, totally legal. Considering we're a government contractor, they audit us yearly, and they are fine with it. It's apparently how thing are. However, I think if the company looses it's 'small business' status, they loose the exemption. Probably explains why they are so dead-set against hiring more people.I would love to find a new job in a different state. Florida is not my cup of tea at all. I've been here almost 10 years and I'm dead freaking tired of it. Sadly, I bought a house at the exact wrong time, and my actual skill as an engineer is mediocre at best. Offers that would allow me to pull up stakes right now are non-existent. I could take a contractor position, but the thought of not having a guaranteed income is somewhat unsettling. Plus, I like my coworkers.
