June 18, 2004 (Press Release) --
June 18, 2004 -- Who qualifies for overtime pay, and who doesn’t? That’s always been a vexing question for employers. To make matters still more complicated, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is changing the rules. Effective August 23, there will be new guidelines and definitions for determining which employees are exempt or nonexempt from overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
It’s enough to make a human resource professional, small business owner, or anyone else with wage and hour responsibilities run for HR guidance. Instead of calling an expensive compensation expert or labor lawyer, there’s a much quicker – and cheaper – alternative: Compensation.BLR.com.
Operated by compliance publisher Business and Legal Reports, Compensation.BLR.com gives plain-English explanations of all the newly revised FLSA definitions: salary threshold, executive exemption, administrative exemption, professional exemption, sales personnel exemption, discretionary powers, advanced knowledge, discretion and independent judgment, and more.
Whether they’re white collar or blue collar, hourly or salaried, minimum wage or highly compensated, virtually everyone in your workplace will be affected by these changes in employee classification.
