More Coloradans will be eligible for overtime pay under new rules released Wednesday by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
Among the major changes in the state’s wage rules is the minimum salary a worker must make to be exempt from overtime requirements. Starting in July, people must make at least $35,568, the current federal level, before they’re exempt from overtime. The minimum salary will increase in steps to $55,000 in 2024.

Employers Are Reminded to Review Compliance With the Now-Effective New Overtime Rules as Soon as
As most employers are aware, properly classified exempt employees are not eligible for overtime pay under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Non-exempt, hourly employees, however, must be paid time and one-half for any hours worked more than 40 in a workweek. Employers are reminded that, in September 2019, the Department of Labor released its final rule for determining overtime eligibility under the FLSA.
To recap, the final rule updated the earnings thresholds necessary to exempt executive, administrative and professional employees from the FLSA’s minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. More specifically, the rule raised the standard salary level from the previous level of $455 per week (equivalent to $23,660 per year for a full-year worker) to $684 per week (equivalent to $35,568 per year for a full-year worker).

While the FLSA provides special rules, as in this case, for certain jobs, the general rule is that non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay, at a time-and-a-half rate, for hours worked beyond 40 in a given workweek.
When calculating overtime, it's important to remember that an employee's regular rate of pay doesn't consist only of an employee's hourly wages — it generally includes all compensation , with just a few exceptions.
Delta recently agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle class action allegations that it incorrectly calculated overtime pay under California law for certain nonexempt employees.
