FLSA overtime update:

Getting ready for Jan 1

You probably remember when the US Department of Labor (DOL) raised the minimum salary employers must pay to most overtime-exempt employees in July from $35,568 to $43,888 a year.

Well, Phase Two of this big overtime rule is just around the corner. Another 3 million workers will be affected when the minimum salary goes up to $58,656 on January 1.

If your employees are among the 3 million, you’ve got a big decision to make. You’ll need to either raise their salaries, reorganize workloads, adjust work schedules or spread work hours to avoid paying overtime – or else face costly lawsuits.
