A new law took effect at the first of the year guaranteeing overtime pay for those who make less than $35,000 a year.

According to the U.S. Labor Department, federal overtime pay eligibility means anyone making $35,568 a year, or $684 a week, is eligible for time-and-a-half overtime if they work over 40 hour a week.

It used to be $23,660 set back in 2004.

Originally the amount was supposed to be $47,476 set back during the Obama administration, but a court struck down the ruling in 2016, just nine day before it was set to begin.

The new law took effect on January 1st, 2020.
