Threshwatch

Payroll and HR systems can retain salary thresholds or exemption labels after a rule changes, but a salary comparison alone cannot determine whether an employee is exempt. Threshwatch reads authorized classification, salary basis, work location and effective dates, applies a versioned rule corpus and produces a discrepancy worklist for payroll, HR and counsel. The supplied primary-source research dates the federal restoration announcement to May 14, 2026, correcting the input's May 15 framing, and confirms a current federal threshold reversion. It also confirms broad HR-system connectivity, while no standalone drift monitor appeared in the supplied search. A stored label, pay amount or connector result may be stale or incomplete. Exemption also depends on duties, salary-basis facts, state rules and exceptions that may not exist in the source system. Therefore every output is a review candidate, never a conclusion that a worker is wrongly classified. A signed report preserves source, rule version and later correction; it is not legal advice, payroll authority or proof of compliance. Source record, effective rule, discrepancy candidate, HR investigation, qualified legal disposition, employee communication, payroll change authorization, provider acknowledgement, pay-period readback, payment and remediation remain separate. Success is faster discovery and documented review—not automatic reclassification, back-pay calculation or compliance certification.
