Part two of DOL's final Overtime Rule goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2025, which increases the weekly salary threshold to $1,128 per week ($58,656 annually). This adjustment is expected to affect many employees and could significantly increase the number of employees eligible for overtime pay. ✅Prepare for this second phase by increasing employee pay or reclassifying employees as nonexempt. When reclassifying employees, make sure you have reliable timekeeping methods and time-labor-management tools in place for hourly employees. Also, stay up-to-date on potential changes in pending litigation. ✅Multi-state Employers: Use this opportunity to ensure state-specific exempt thresholds are met. For states with higher exempt salary thresholds than the federal amount, adjust accordingly. https://lnkd.in/eD3krbaT
