Proposed federal rule may put many salaried workers on the clock
Placeholder Image
Salaried employees making between $23,600 and $50,400 a year may no longer be considered exempt from overtime laws as part of a proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Labor. Currently employees making less than $23,600 must be paid overtime, but those making more can be considered salaried workers with no overtime pay. David Dickerson and Madeline Wirt, attorneys with Whelchel, Dunlap, Jarrard & Walker of Gainesville, talked about the issue last week during a Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce seminar.
