Salary Requirements for Exempt Employees: State Laws vs. Federal

When it comes to managing employees, one key decision employers must make is whether their workers are classified as exempt or non-exempt. This employee classification determines whether they’re eligible for overtime pay. The difference boils down to salary and job duties, but it’s not always as simple as it sounds — especially when dealing with both federal and state laws. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) lays the groundwork for salary thresholds across the U.S., but states can impose their own rules. Some states have higher salary requirements than the federal government, and that’s where things get tricky for employers.
