“an employee making less than the new threshold who doesn’t manage anyone else, whose job doesn’t require them to exercise “independent judgment with respect to matters of significance,” according to DOL, and whose job doesn’t require advanced knowledge might qualify for overtime pay.”
The limit used to be people making under like, 100k, and now the limit is like, 130k or something. How many people making between 100k and 130k have jobs that are not management and don’t require independent judgment with respect to matters of significance?
Feels pretty niche to me, but I guess progress is good. I’m also wondering how many people in these positions don’t have significant bargaining power., as the article states this law is for those people.
Edit: Ah re-read it: it also impacts those in the 30-40k range, bumping the threshold up significantly.
