For small businesses (those with 1-50 employees) the new salary threshold is 1.5 times the minimum wage, $821.40 a week, or $42,712 a year. For large businesses (those with 51 or more employees) an employee is exempt from overtime if their salary is at least 1.75 times the minimum wage, $958.30 a week, or $49,831 a year.
