Restoring Overtime Pay Act of 2023 is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects salaried workers who are treated as executive, administrative, or professional employees. It also affects employers that rely on those overtime exemptions. Federal labor agencies would have new duties to update and publish the pay data used for the overtime cutoff.

Why this matters: This matters because many salaried workers can work long hours without overtime pay if they meet exemption rules. The bill would raise the pay bar for those exemptions. That could mean more overtime pay for some workers. It could also mean employers change schedules, salaries, or job roles to control costs.

Key provisions in H.R. 2395

Workers would have to earn at least a federal salary cutoff before employers could treat them as overtime-exempt executive, administrative, or professional employees.
The salary cutoff would rise in steps. It would be $45,000 when the law starts, $55,000 in 2024, $65,000 in 2025, and $75,000 in 2026.
Starting January 1, 2027, the cutoff would track national pay levels. It would use the 55th percentile of weekly earnings for full-time salaried workers, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
The Secretary of Labor could set a higher cutoff than the one written in the bill. The department would have to use notice-and-comment rulemaking, where the public can weigh in before a rule becomes final.
The salary cutoff would update every year on its own. Each yearly update would not need the full rulemaking process used for many federal rules.
