Salary Threshold Deadline - July 1, 2024
Effective July 1, the Department of Labor (DOL) will increase the minimum salary threshold for exempt employees due to their new overtime rule. The final rule requires that salaried workers who earn less than $43,888 ($844 per week) be eligible for overtime pay. Any employees who were considered Exempt prior to July 1, 2024, but do not meet the new threshold MUST either have their salaries adjusted to the new minimum salary threshold or have their FLSA classification changed to NON-EXEMPT status.

Should you elect to make a change in status to non-exempt, the employee will now be eligible for overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
