No income tax on overtime is very fair to regular hourly and salary workers. Salary workers can negotiate their terms and value to the company. Few people absolutely love overtime and avoid it at all costs. Mandatory overtime is an onerus to many. Some workers need the overtime to make the ends meet in the middle even though they would rather not be doing it. Try standing in a factory which runs about 100 degrees on a summer day, lifting product, running presses and tell me how you would enjoy mandatory overtime. Those are people from the working crowd so you can enjoy your retirement.

AI: Overtime work, while offering potential financial gains, can lead to several drawbacks, including decreased productivity, increased health risks, and a strained work-life balance. Excessive overtime can lead to burnout, impacting both physical and mental health.
