Balancing organizational needs with increasing minimum wage and overtime-exempt salary thresholds can be challenging for nonprofits in Washington. In 2025, Washington’s minimum wage will rise to $16.66 an hour, and with that, the minimum salary thresholds for overtime exempt employees will rise.
In this 90-minute presentation you will:
- Learn why the minimum wage increases and how this impacts which employees can be considered overtime “exempt.”
- Understand the distinction between exempt and non-exempt pay.
- Learn techniques and important information to assist employees in understanding and complying with these changes.
- Understand specific employer challenges for implementing increasing minimum wage and exempt levels.
