| Note 1 | If states do not have laws governing the payment of overtime, federal overtime laws apply. | ||
| Note 2 | Generally, if state law is more protective (i.e., requires a higher salary amount or has duties | ||
| tests that are more difficult to satisfy), then state law should be followed. | |||
| After the federal court's decision on November 15, 2024 to block the federal increase to $1,128 per week as of January 1,2025, | |||
| only six states (AK, CA, CO, ME, NY, WA) will have minimum salary requirements that will exceed | |||
| the federal level of $684 per week for the exempt employees as of January 1, 2025. | |||
