The proposed rule would lift the salary threshold for overtime pay from $35,568 to $55,000.

    Salary threshold? I’m salaried. I don’t get overtime. Neither do a lot of other salaried people.

      2x minimum wage for a 40 hour work week is the salary threshold. If you make less your employer is breaking the law. In California the salary threshold is currently $64,480.

        I’m bad at math, but I’m pretty sure I make more than that. I live in Indiana. Minimum wage is sickeningly low. $7.25/hr.

          That’s federal minimum wage. So it’s the $35,568 from the article which Biden is trying to raise to $55,000.

          I’m curious what you do where you are salaried with that low of a pay. Totally understand if you don’t want to share though.

          I believe that if you make below that threshold as a salaried employee and do not receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per week, then your employer may be violating a rule.

          Wage theft is the largest category of theft in the USA.

            I wouldn’t be shocked if there was wage theft going on, but there’s also no way to record my hours. No one to keep track of it.
