Alabama 2024 Overtime Exemption Updates

The update for Alabama is effective October 1, 2024.

In 2023, Alabama passed a law exempting overtime compensation from state income taxes from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. The exemption applies to overtime compensation paid during this period to employees paid on an hourly basis for work performed in excess of 40 hours in a week.

Starting October 1, 2024, the exemption will apply to any overtime compensation provided in accordance with the FLSA, under HB 407. This change will remain in effect until the exemption expires on June 30, 2025. HB 407 also amends employer reporting requirements to conform with the exemption modification.
