New overtime rule could affect up to 20,000 Arizona workers in new year

Effective Jan. 1, workers who make less than $35,568 a year will have to be paid time and a half for any work over 40 hours a week, an increase from the old threshold of $23,660 that had not been changed in 15 years. But the increase iks far below what was proposed by the Obama administration and will protect millions fewer workers. (Photo by Christopher Titzer/Creative Commons, tinyurl.com/vhvhtju )
