To address what some consider to be low paid managers missing out on overtime earnings when they work more than 40 hours in a week, the Obama Administration through the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed to significantly increase the salary threshold for the executive, administrative, and professional exemptions to overtime.
