Colorado Department of Labor's new wage rules will make more workers eligible for overtime pay
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.

Opinion: Everyone deserves to be paid for the hours they work
Currently in Michigan, it's legal to require salaried employees to work in excess of 40 hours without receiving overtime pay. But no business should be allowed to profit off the unpaid labor of their workers. That's why I was pleased to learn of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's support for expanding overtime protections for salaried workers.
I've been working since I was 17, when I got my first job at a movie theater. A little-known fact about movie theaters in Michigan is they are exempt from overtime laws. So even if I worked 100 hours a week slinging popcorn, I did not receive one minute of overtime pay. This exception seemed arbitrary, unfair and abusive to me as a teen.
Many things are taking place:
