Over 60,000 state residents are now eligible to collect overtime payment under a new federal law.
The legislation officially went into effect yesterday. There are essentially three new rules to determine if you’re eligible for overtime.
- Hourly personnel who work more than 40 hours per week
- A salaried employee who work more than 40 hours and earn less than $35,568 per year
- Or a salaried employee who isn’t in an executive, administrative, or professional capacity.
