Important Update: Federal Overtime Changes
In addition to the exciting opportunities this summer, we want to keep you informed about recent changes from the federal government regarding overtime for salaried positions. The U.S. Department of Labor has updated the overtime regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Here are the key points you need to know:
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) increased the salary threshold for overtime exemptions in two phases, effective July 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025:
- July 1, 2024: The salary threshold increased from $684 per week ($35,568 per year) to $844 per week ($43,888 per year) for executive, administrative, and professional (EAP) employees. This means that salaried workers earning less than $844 per week are eligible for overtime pay for all hours worked over 40 hours per week.
- January 1, 2025: The salary threshold increased again to $1,128 per week ($58,656 per year) for EAP employees. The threshold for highly compensated employees (HCE) also increased from $107,432 per year to $132,964 per year on July 1, 2024, and then to $151,164 per year on January 1, 2025.
Employers affected by these changes must either increase the salaries of their employees or reclassify them as non-exempt and pay them overtime premium pay. However, some recommend that employers wait to make changes until the rule’s effective date, as it could be delayed or blocked by legal challenges.
These changes present an excellent opportunity to discuss with your clients how PEO services can help them navigate these regulatory adjustments smoothly. Bridgely Key Options is here to provide you with the insights and support you need to address these changes effectively.
