FAQ

Utah has no specific limitations on the number of hours a salaried employee can work in a week. Overtime compensation is only eligible if an employee's worked hours reached 40 in a workweek. If an employee works beyond 40, they are entitled to time-and-a-half for any hours worked beyond 40.

Effective July 1, 2024, the salary threshold will increase to the equivalent of an annual salary of $43,888 and increase to $58,656 on Jan. 1, 2025. The July 1 increase updates the present annual salary threshold of $35,568 based on the methodology used by the prior administration in the 2019 overtime rule update.

Full-Day Absences for Personal Reasons: If an exempt employee misses one or more full days for personal reasons, other than sickness or accident, you can make a deduction. Remember, it's full days we're talking about – not partial days.

Compensation or benefit packages for salaried employees often include accrued leave, or vacation or personal leave absences. If the package grants vacation or personal time off, then each full or partial absent day can be deducted from these days rather than an employee's salary.

For example, the minimum wage in California will increase for most workers to $16.50/hour, which means the minimum exempt salary will increase to $68,640 annually.
