FAQ
Being salaried does not necessarily mean working 40 hours. As a salaried worker, you receive a fixed amount of payment regardless of the actual hours worked. While there are typically expected work hours, if you complete your tasks in fewer than 40 hours during a specific week, it is perfectly acceptable.
Specifically, effective July 1, 2024, the final rule increases the standard salary threshold under the EAP exemptions from $684 per week ($35,568 per year) to $844 per week ($43,888 per year). Moreover, effective January 1, 2025, this standard salary threshold will increase to $1,128 per week ($58,656 per year).
Ing to FLSA, anything over 40 weekly hours worked is considered overtime. Unlike some states that specify overtime with daily work hours (i.e., anything over 8 hours per workday), Arizona labor laws have no such regulations.
Under Federal law, there is no limit on the amount of overtime that an employee may be required to work, although some states including New York do regulate mandatory overtime which is the amount of overtime some workers may work, including mandatory overtime for nurses and other healthcare professionals.
This means that an employer may legally ask an individual to work shifts of 8, 10, 12 or more hours each day. Each organization has the legal ability to designate shift lengths and alter them as necessary.
Employers in New York State must provide all employees time off for meals, after working a certain number of hours. In general, employers must provide at least 30 minutes of unpaid time off if an employee works more than 6 hours.
While New York City employment laws primarily protect workers within the city's limits, there are situations where out-of-state workers can also be covered. Factors such as the employer's location, the nature of the work, and specific contract agreements all play a role in determining whether NYC laws apply.
Most full-time salaried employees work 40-hour weeks. Salaried employees might occasionally work between 45 and 50 hours, depending on the company's needs. Other weeks, they might put in less than 40 hours.
Maximum hours an exempt employee can be required to work The law does not provide a maximum number of hours that an exempt worker can be required to work during a week. This means that an employer could require an exempt employee to work well beyond 40 hours a week without overtime compensation.
