On September 24, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) released the final rule increasing the salary threshold for white-collar exemptions to the federal overtime pay requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act from $23,660 to $35,568. DOL has reaffirmed its intent to update the salary threshold more regularly, but did not include any mechanism to automatically update the threshold. The final rule does not make any changes to the duties test.
Employers will need to be in compliance with the new rule by January 1, 2020.
