This\u2063 move by the Labor Department would require businesses to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/60k-film-industry-workers-to-strike-if-new-contract-deal-with-producers-isnt-met\/\" title=\"60K film industry workers to strike if new contract deal with producers isn\u2019t met\">pay overtime<\/a> to white-collar workers \u2063earning less than $55,000 annually. Currently, salaried workers earning $35,568 a year are entitled to overtime, so this rule would raise the eligibility threshold \u200bby approximately $20,000.<\/p>\n<h3>Boosting Economic Security for Workers<\/h3>\n<p>This proposed rule \u2063covers various types of employees, \u2062including salaried, \u2063managerial, executive, \u2063administrative, and professional workers, who have different federal overtime standards \u2062compared to hourly employees. Acting Labor Secretary Julie Hu stated, &#8220;Today, the Biden-Harris \u2062administration \u200dis proposing a rule that would help restore workers&#8217; economic security by giving millions more salaried workers the \u2062right to overtime\u200b protections if they earn less\u200d than $55,000 a year. Workers deserve to continue to\u200c share in the economic prosperity of Bidenomics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While most hourly employees are already entitled to overtime \u200dpay if they work\u2062 more than 40 hours per week, many salaried white-collar workers are not. This increase in the salary threshold would \u2062impact an estimated 3.6 million workers, particularly those in managerial positions within industries \u200clike retail.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-invites-more-illegal-immigrants-by-proposing-free-health-care-at-your-expense\/\" title=\"Biden Invites More Illegal Immigrants By Proposing \u2018Free\u2019 Health Care At Your Expense\">proposed rule includes<\/a> an automatic adjustment of the\u200d annual \u200dsalary threshold every three years to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-proposes-extending-overtime-pay-to-millions-more-workers\/\" title=\"Biden admin aims to expand overtime pay to millions more workers.\">reflect current earnings data<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Opposition\u2062 and Potential\u200c Disappointments<\/h3>\n<p>Notably, this proposed rule has faced \u200dopposition\u2062 from \u2064businesses concerned about the potential strain on their payrolls amidst the current inflationary challenges. The Associated Builders and Contractors, representing the nonunion construction industry, expressed disappointment, urging the administration\u200b to delay changes to the\u200d salary threshold until the economic situation stabilizes.<\/p>\n<p>The overtime salary threshold was last\u2064 updated under the Trump administration in 2019, increasing it from $23,660 to just over $35,000. While \u2064this rule may disappoint business groups, it may also fall short of \u200dthe expectations of some\u2062 on the Left who had advocated for an\u2063 even higher threshold for white-collar \u200bovertime.<\/p>\n<p>A group of Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Sherrod Brown, had previously pushed for the threshold to be \u2063raised to nearly $83,000 by 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/20-attorneys-general-push-back-on-bidens-plans-to-advance-deeply-flawed-critical-race-theory-1619-project\/\" title=\"20 Attorneys General Push Back On Biden\u2019s Plans To Advance \u2018Deeply Flawed\u2019 Critical Race Theory, 1619 Project\">proposed rule aims<\/a> to provide greater economic security for salaried workers \u2064and ensure they\u2062 can benefit from \u200cthe economic prosperity of the Biden \u2062administration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The\u2062 Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biden administration plans to expand overtime pay to 3.6 million additional salaried employees.
