On March 7, the Department of Labor released its proposal to make more workers eligible for overtime pay.
Jaclyn Diaz and Chris Opfer, reporters for Bloomberg Law®, write: “Workers who make less than about $35,000 per year would be automatically eligible for time-and-a-half pay for all hours worked beyond 40 a week, under the Trump administration’s proposal. That’s up from the current threshold of $24,000, but not as high as the $47,000 mark proposed by the Obama administration in a stalled regulation.”
