Understanding and Preparing for the New Overtime Rules

OVERVIEW

It’s finally happened! The long wait is over. The United States Department of Labor just released its new overtime exemption rules. For many employers that means that many of the positions it had previously classified as exempt from overtime requirements will not be any longer – unless these employees receive a salary increase equal to or greater than the new salary threshold.

In this webinar we will discuss the new rules.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

The new salary rules are expected to impact at least a million workers nationwide, and to result in a significant increase in the number of employees who will be eligible for overtime pay. You should attend the webinar if you want to stay updated and compliant with the overtime rules for exempt and non-exempt employees.
