Hope for workers: New proposed rulemaking from the DOL would raise the threshold for salaried workers to be eligible for overtime to $55,000/yr. Big win for working people. The federal overtime provisions are contained in the FLSA. Unless exempt, employees covered by the Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time & one-half their regular rates of pay. #FairWages https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/overtime
