LoginNew overtime protections for 1 million workers. Thanks, Biden.
On July 1, the Biden administration's new rule extending overtime rules went into effect. President Biden said, "While Republicans side with big corporations and special interests on Park Avenue to try to deny workers these protections, I will always side with hardworking families like the ones I grew up with in Scranton." Another 3 million will get protection next year.

The move marks the largest expansion in federal overtime eligibility seen in decades. Starting July 1, employers will be required to pay overtime to salaried workers who make less than $43,888 a year in certain executive, administrative and professional roles, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That cap will then rise to $58,656 by the start of 2025.Starting July 1, 2027, the rule requires Labor to adjust the salary threshold every three years to account for updated wage data. Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su: "So often, lower-paid salaried workers are doing the same job as their hourly counterparts but are spending more time away from their families for no additional pay. This is unacceptable."
