The proposed rule would lift the salary threshold for overtime pay from $35,568 to $55,000.
The income threshold for overtime pay should be 0. Wtf is this?
“Salaried Exempt” also shouldn’t exist.
Remember when Obama did this exact thing and Trump just immediately undid it when he became president?

If I recall correctly, it got overturned by a Federal Court before Trump took office. Trump WOULD have undone it - but he didn’t have to.
You do not recall correctly.

His justice department didn’t defend the rule and then he replaced it with a much weaker version.
This would hit millions of teachers.
Salary threshold? I’m salaried. I don’t get overtime. Neither do a lot of other salaried people.
2x minimum wage for a 40 hour work week is the salary threshold. If you make less your employer is breaking the law. In California the salary threshold is currently $64,480.
I’m bad at math, but I’m pretty sure I make more than that. I live in Indiana. Minimum wage is sickeningly low. $7.25/hr.
That’s federal minimum wage. So it’s the $35,568 from the article which Biden is trying to raise to $55,000.
