Salary Threshold

The salary threshold is a specific income level used to determine eligibility for certain employment benefits, protections, or legal requirements. For example, in the context of employment laws, it may decide whether a worker is considered exempt or non-exempt from overtime rules. If a person's salary is above this threshold, they often qualify for additional benefits or protections; if below, different regulations may apply. It helps organizations and policymakers establish clear standards to ensure fair treatment and compliance within the workforce.
