I'm not from USA but this can't work, because how do you stop someone negotiating their a salary of say $x and the $y in overtime and therefore reducing the overall tax burden. It would be a nightmare to control. The only way this could work is for fulltime union jobs only where there is a union/employee agreement in place or what we call Award wages or Enterprise Bargaining agreement in Australia.

Agreed.
Came to also post questions about if overtime is at a mandatory rate, I e. Traditionally it's considered "time and a half", but is that codified?
Same question as you, essentially.
