(Dec 1, 2016)
Are you ready for the New DOL Overtime Rule?
The final rule was signed on May 18, 2016. If you are wondering whether or not you are a covered FLSA employer more than likely "yes."
Under FLSA the defined covered employer is basically any business with annual sales of $500K or greater,
or who are engaged in interstate commerce.
The term under FLSA "Interstate Commerce" is board and can simply mean mailing and receiving items from other states, using company telephones, or
computers to place or accept interstate
business calls or orders.
Employers are to review current employees that are classified as exempt (White Collar), and Highly Compensated Employee status. Such as:
*Executive,
*Administrative, and;
*Professional
to ensure that there are no misclassifications, and to determine if the projected salary
threshold of $913 per week, or $47,476 annually will be met. For Highly Compensated the new threshold of $134,004 annually. The salary thresholds are expected to increase every three years. In addition, the new rule will allow employers to use non-discretionary bonuses/incentives "including commission" to meet up to 10% of the new standard salary level.
****HRA is currently providing on-site services to assist employers in assessing their current staff classifications to ensure compliance, determine who falls under those identified to raise to the new salary threshold ($47,476), or to re-classify as non-exempt. In addition, we provide recommendations on most the most suitable strategy for your company to address and communicate with managers and staff.
