ME LD599

Amends Maine's overtime exemption for salaried executive, administrative, and professional employees by establishing the salary threshold as the highest of four possible amounts

Sets a fixed salary floor of $58,656 per year as one threshold option

Adds the 35th percentile of weekly earnings for full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage census region, to be calculated starting July 1, 2027, and recalculated every 3 years thereafter

Retains existing thresholds of 3,000 times the state minimum hourly wage and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act annualized rate

Employees earning below the highest applicable threshold would qualify for overtime pay rather than being exempt
