Restore federal overtime standards to where they were in 1975. This would cover up to 65% of salaried workers (as it did in 1975). The equivalent salary threshold would be $69,000. In other words, if you make an annual salary less than $69,000, you would be eligible for overtime pay.
In addition, the current exemptions from overtime should be narrowed rather than expanded. Extend this overtime salary protection to include teachers, federal employees, doctors, computer professionals, and other professionals.
Exemptions should only be provided in a prudent manner and closely monitored.
Good business is paying your employees equitably.
Laborers should be paid for the hours they work.
