AmericanHort joined over 80 organizations urging the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) to postpone the implementation of the first increase to the minimum salary threshold under the new final rule altering overtime regulations. This rule, published on April 26, 2024, aims to raise the threshold from $35,568 to $43,888, effective July 1, 2024. The request is for an extension until at least September 1, 2024, to allow employers time to understand, adapt, and communicate the changes to affected workers, especially smaller businesses lacking resources for swift adjustments.
