No, employees who earn below the new salary threshold for exempt status under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) do not have to be automatically converted to hourly pay. However, they must receive overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours in a week.

Is the Department making any adjustments to the standard duties tests?
