Join A Virtual Meeting on New Threshold to Pay Overtime 

The SBA Office of Advocacy will host two Small Business Roundtables to discuss the Department of Labor’s Proposed Overtime Rule. Under the rule, salaried employees earning up to $60,000/year could be eligible for overtime pay.

Key officials will attend these roundtable meetings, including Jessica Looman, Principal Deputy Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division at DOL, and Janis Reyes, Assistant Chief Counsel at the SBA Office of Advocacy. This is a unique opportunity to share thoughts directly with decision-makers.

September 26, 2023, and September 27, 2023 @ Noon – 2:00 PM (both days)

Location: Virtual meetings using Microsoft Teams

How to Participate: RSVP for ONE of these meetings by emailing Janis Reyes at Janis.Reyes@sba.gov.

The SBA Office of Advocacy is interested inhearing perspectives on:

• Whether the DOL’s proposed salary level threshold should be raised and whether the DOL’s proposed threshold levels are appropriate for small businesses.
• The compliance costs of increasing the salary level to small entities, such as increased wages, overtime, and managerial costs.
• Whether an automatic three-year increase to the salary level is appropriate.
