Is OT "overtime"? How is it legal not to pay overtime in any US factory? Unless they are salaried (exempt)?

yeah, overtime. My cousin is an engineer at TSMC (who worked both in Tainin and now in Arizona) and is w-2 exempt.

A lot of the workers there probably are exempt under American law.

I’m not an expert on Taiwanese labor laws but their list of exempt labor categories in the LSA is much shorter than the one in the American FLSA.
