Failed·4/29/26
Tpdf Text

Maine LD599 would raise the salary threshold for overtime pay eligibility.

Maine LD599 amends the salary threshold for overtime pay eligibility by incorporating the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's annualized rate and adding the salary level of $58,656 per year and the 35th percentile of weekly earnings for full-time salary workers in the lowest-wage census region. This bill affects salaried employees in executive, administrative, or professional capacities, exempting them from minimum wage and overtime pay laws if their annual compensation exceeds these specified thresholds.
