A new rule change in Washington could allow up to 100,000 more workers in Michigan to claim overtime pay.
The change, announced by the Obama administration on Tuesday, will allow certain salaried workers who make up to about $50,000 per year, to claim overtime.
Currently the threshold limit is set at just over $23,000.
The proposed rule still has to go through a public comment period.
Some business groups say the threshold increase is excessive.
