3 Key Wage and Hour Shifts and What They Mean for Your Workforce

The Mid-2026 DOL Briefing

The Department of Labor has had an active first half of 2026, announcing three significant regulatory shifts that alter federal wage and hour expectations. This comprehensive briefing breaks down the "big three" actions directly from the Wage and Hour Division: the formal rescission of the 2024 white-collar overtime expansion, the newly proposed unified framework for joint employer liability, and the ongoing overhaul of independent contractor classification standards. ​​​If your organization relies on salaried employees, third-party staffing, or independent freelancers, these three updates will fundamentally change how you evaluate and protect your workforce this year.

Attendees will leave this webinar with a clear, tactical playbook for navigating a shifting regulatory landscape. We will map out critical multistate traps where federal rollbacks clash with stricter, independent state thresholds in places like California, New York, and Washington. This briefing will equip your team to audit internal roles, minimize multistate liabilities, and navigate these sensitive workforce transitions seamlessly.
