Was there any change in the overtime laws in IL?
Yes
No
Answer explanation
Some employees are exempt from overtime pay. (ex: administrators) The way it is classified who is considered "exempt" has changed.
Example 1: An employee is currently classified as exempt because they earn $900 per week but perform administrative duties. Under the new law, this employee would be reclassified as non-exempt because their salary is below the new threshold of $1,100 per week. As a result, they would now be entitled to overtime pay for any hours worked over 40 per week.Example 2: An executive who earns $1,200 per week and meets the duties criteria of the “executive exemption” will continue to be classified as exempt and will not be entitled to overtime, even after the new law goes into effect.
