An additional 1.3 million U.S. workers will see an increase in pay in the new year after new rules from the Labor Department go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
Under the new federal rules, more workers will be eligible for overtime pay if they log more than 40 hours a week, after the department raised the threshold—for the first time in more than 15 years—for when employees are exempted from being paid overtime.
