"Salaried Exempt" also shouldn't exist.
I was "offered" a salary role with a promotion once, and I asked them if it was exempt or nonexempt. They acted confused, then said exempt. I was denied the promotion, and took a job elsewhere. Fuck that nonsense.
This is the threshold they use as the cutoff for overtime pay. Originally the cutoff was $35,000 a year and then you wouldn't have to pay any overtime if the salary is over that. This would require overtime pay for any salaried employees that are under $55,000 a year. It's a good thing and it's being used to come back practices that major retailers like Dollar general embrace.
Remember when Obama did this exact thing and Trump just immediately undid it when he became president?
And all his constituents that he was screwing over cheered him for being "a smart businessman".
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.
Cool and I propose we make the minimum wage a living wage instead.
This would hit millions of teachers.
Salary threshold? I'm salaried. I don't get overtime. Neither do a lot of other salaried people.
Aww salaried people, not hourly
Hourly people already get these overtime pay protections
Imagine being told that you have to work for free because they deem you worked too many hours in a world where you can hardly make enough to pay for rent let alone buy a house.

Good luck. This isn't going anywhere.
It was already done by Obama and then undone by Trump. It does not need congressional intervention.
