What's New? New FLSA Overtime Exemption Regulations

On April 23, the Biden Administration released final regulations which significantly limit overtime exemptions for financial institutions. The regulations, effective July 1, raise the salary requirement to $43,888 per year. Then the required salary payment increases further to $58,656 effective January 1, 2025. That is a dramatic change to the current $35,568 requirement. The new regulations include other changes such as automatic salary updates, which will also create compliance obstacles.
