| New Overtime Law Will Present New Challenges |
|
Classification Will Be More Critical Than Ever
The Department of Labor's new overtime law went into effect on January 1, offering new challenges for employers who are expected to reclassify nearly 1 million employees to non-exempt status in 2020 - or raise pay rates to meet the $35,568 threshold.
The new law also means business owners will need to keep a close eye on both salary and job descriptions moving forward to avoid any misclassification mishaps and remain compliant.

"Gig Economy Bill" Could have Repercussions for Rest of Nation... Eventually
On Jan. 1, California legislation known as AB5 - or "the gig economy bill" went into effect in California in an effort to encourage companies like Uber and Lyft to compensate their workforce as employees.
But multiple tech companies - including the aforementioned ride sharing outfits - have united to sponsor a ballot initiative, in hopes of remaining exempt from the law. Meanwhile, newspaper publishers, freelance writers, and others are wringing their hands and raising their voices, decrying the legislation's potentially negative impact on their lives and careers.
Though states like
New York, New Jersey, and Illinois are entertaining similar bills, the legislation's impact on the remainder of the country is yet to be seen. The nation, at large, appears to be watching the California fervor intently, to see how - and if - everything falls into place.
