The proposed changes to the overtime rule increased the salary threshold for employees who are exemptâand therefore not eligible for overtimeâfrom $23,660 to $50,440. In the final rule, the level dropped to $47,476.
First, the employee must be paid a salary, which is a fixed amount that canât be changed because of variations in the amount or quality of work performed. Second, the employeeâs salary must be at a minimum level. This is the test changed by the new rules. As of December 1, exempt employees must receive at least $913 per week, or $47,476 per year. This is just over twice the current minimum salary, which is $455/week or $23,660/year. Up to 10% of the salary may be from non-discretionary bonuses or incentive payments, as long as they are paid at least quarterly.
