“By definition, this administration has shown it intends to give more people overtime. It has said people now earning up to $21,000 will be guaranteed overtime. Under the present law, if you are earning up to $8,000 you are guaranteed overtime, but between $8,000 and $21,000 you can be doing a number of jobs in the country which deny you overtime, where your employer can say, I am sorry, we are not going to pay you overtime because you happen to be an exempt employee. Under this proposal from this administration, over 1.3 million people will be getting overtime they would not get under the present law because the threshold goes up to $21,000.”
