New Overtime Requirements

New Overtime Requirements
How you pay your employees overtime will change dramatically this December 1. What's all the fuss about? The current threshold for employees to be eligible for overtime is currently $455 per week,or $23,660 annually for a full - time employee. Exempt employees over these amounts don't currently receive overtime pay.Under the new ruling, that threshold now becomes $913 per week or $47,476 annually . That amount also has an automatic adjustment every three years. 

What does that mean for business owner or manager ? If you want to keep your $40,000 to $47,476 employee exempt , you could change the pay rate from $40,000 to $47476 or more, but that may be more than what you have budgeted. Another option is to pay that employee at an equivalent hourly rate and have the employee manage his/her time to stay within the forty hours each week. Or pay your salaried, non - exempt employee their salary, but calculate any over time at the equivalent hourly rate.
