DOL Issues Proposed Rule Increasing Minimum Salary for Salary Exempt Employees to $35,308
Be advised that the Department of Labor has released a proposed overtime rule for any salary exempt employees with a $35,308 salary threshold. Under the current rule, employees with a salary below $455 per week ($23,660 annually) must be paid overtime if they work more than 40 hours per week. The proposed rule does not address the duties test for white-collar exemptions or the salary basis requirement.
