FAQ
What Are the Key Changes? Changes are meant to reflect inflation and increased living costs. As a result, thresholds tend to move upward rather than downward: Minimum Salary Threshold: The new rule raises the standard salary level from $35,568 per year ($684 per week) to $58,656 annually ($1,128 per week).
Under the FLSA, exempt salaried employees have virtually no rights at allwhen it comes to overtime, aside from their base salary as determined in their employment agreement. Employers can require any number of hours or any type of schedule from employees, including mandatory overtime or makeup time for absences.
The law does not provide a maximum number of hours that an exempt worker can be required to work during a week. This means that an employer could require an exempt employee to work well beyond 40 hours a week without overtime compensation.
The 2024 Final Rule: A Refresher The DOL's 2024 final rule increased this minimum salary threshold for EAP exempt employees from $684 per week to $844 per week (equivalent to $43,888 per year) on July 1 and mandated a second increase to $1,128 per week (equivalent to $58,656 per year) to take place January 1, 2025.
Most salaried employees don't often exceed 45-50 hours of work in a given week. If a job regularly requires more than 50 hours of weekly work, then the role is probably poorly designed. The roles, duties and responsibilities may be completed more effectively if distributed across multiple jobs.
As a salaried exempt employee, you must make at least double the yearly amount that a minimum wage hourly worker would make working a 40-hour work week each week. Beginning in 2023, California established that the minimum wage in the state is $15.50 an hour; however, depending on where you're located, it might be more.
