Recently, the US Department of Labor (DOL) released their final rule, updating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)’s overtime pay requirements. The rule increases the minimum salary threshold to $43,888 on July 1, 2024, and then to $58,656 on January 1, 2025.
The first increase, effective July 1, updates the minimum salary threshold using the department’s current methodology, which was used in the 2019 update. The second increase, effective January 1, implements the department’s preferred methodology. More information can be found on the DOL’s webpage.
