In June 2015, the Department of Labor proposed revised regulations which affect the Fair Labor Standards Act’s “white collar” overtime exemptions.
The proposed regulations increase the salary threshold needed to qualify for overtime exemption from $455/week ($23,600 per year) to $970/week ($50,440/year).
This proposed regulation has many implications for employers throughout the United States.
Any business that employs exempt workers with salaries under $50,440 would be directly affected by the new regulations and need to consider their best course of action for each affected employee.
