What the "other side" did

The Biden-Harris Administration raised the maximum salary you can make to qualify for overtime pay from $35,568 to $58,656/yr.

This means that if you made a salary in that range and are required to work more than 40 hours per week, you would have received one and one-half times your regular rate of pay for those hours worked.
