As a business owner, it is our hopes that you have heard about the proposed changes to salary and overtime regulations made by the Obama Administration and the Department of Labor that were set to take effect on December 1st, 2016. The major change in this rule would be increase of the threshold to be considered exempt, or salaried, from $23,660 to double that at $47,476, this would create changes for around 4 million workers.
However, on November 22nd, 2016, a Federal Judge in Texas granted a ruling halting this change. With this new rule on hold, the future of overtime is uncertain. No changes need to be made at this time but it is a good time to get up to date on the proposed changes so that if and/or when these changes do take effect, you will have a plan in place for your employees who fall in this area.
