The proposed rule would lift the salary threshold for overtime pay from $35,568 to $55,000.
The income threshold for overtime pay should be 0. Wtf is this?
“Salaried Exempt” also shouldn’t exist.
I was “offered” a salary role with a promotion once, and I asked them if it was exempt or nonexempt. They acted confused, then said exempt. I was denied the promotion, and took a job elsewhere. Fuck that nonsense.
This is the threshold they use as the cutoff for overtime pay. Originally the cutoff was $35,000 a year and then you wouldn’t have to pay any overtime if the salary is over that. This would require overtime pay for any salaried employees that are under $55,000 a year. It’s a good thing and it’s being used to come back practices that major retailers like Dollar general embrace.
I guess I read it backward, but $55k still seems like a low cap. Of course, for this to work at all that would mean the salaried employee would still need to punch a clock, which is annoying.
I will happily take the 5 seconds it takes to punch a clock if that means I’m not having to work for free.
That might depend on how often you work overtime and if you sometimes dip out early for stuff, which could be used against you.
Remember when Obama did this exact thing and Trump just immediately undid it when he became president?
If I recall correctly, it got overturned by a Federal Court before Trump took office. Trump WOULD have undone it - but he didn’t have to.
You do not recall correctly.

His justice department didn’t defend the rule and then he replaced it with a much weaker version.
Cool and I propose we make the minimum wage a living wage instead.
This would hit millions of teachers.
Aww salaried people, not hourly
Hourly people already get these overtime pay protections

Good luck. This isn’t going anywhere.
It was already done by Obama and then undone by Trump. It does not need congressional intervention.
that sounds an awful lot like not having gone anywhere.
It went somewhere, and came back. It was the law of the land for a brief time.
It got overturned by a Federal Court before Trump took office. Trump WOULD have undone it - but he didn’t have to.
You should look up the words “preliminary” and “injunction.”

Imagine being told that you have to work for free because they deem you worked too many hours in a world where you can hardly make enough to pay for rent let alone buy a house.
