On January 1, 2020, the threshold for who is entitled to overtime pay — and who is not — changed. It’s the first change since 2004. The new rule raises the income threshold that employees must reach to $684 per week, or $35,568 per year, to qualify as exempt from overtime. Employers are allowed to count up to 10% (or $3,556.80 per year) in bonuses or commissions towards the threshold.
