On Thursday, March 13, President Obama directed U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez to "modernize and streamline" the Department of Labor's (DOL) "white collar" overtime exemption regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 541. The regulations define the scope of the executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This initiative took many employers by surprise because it was not previously included in the DOL's semi-annual regulatory agenda.
This move to revise overtime exemption regulations is in step with President Obama's message of "giving America a raise" and comes on the heels of the President's February Executive Order raising the hourly minimum wage for federal contractors to $10.10 an hour.
Our speaker was a primary architect of the 2004 revisions to the overtime exemption regulations while serving as administrator of the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, for a web seminar that focuses on the likely changes to the current regulations and how this will impact employers.
