How do the FLSA Changes affect me?

Changes to overtime policies under the FLSA will affect your salaried employees of your organization whom:

Meet job duties exemption requirements and have a salary ranging from $23,660 and $47,476 per year.

Meet the Highly Compensated Employee (HCE) job duties exemption requirements and have a salary ranging from $100,000 and $134,004 per year.

How can I comply with these new FLSA overtime Changes?

There are 2 possible methods to FLSA overtime compliance:

A. Transition newly non-exempt employees to hourly and pay overtime rates.

B. Increase salary compensation of newly non-exempt employees to proposed minimum.

 

This ruling is one which will continually increase salary thresholds to match changes in United States living conditions. Automatic increases in salary thresholds by the US Department of Labor will occur every 3 years (January 1, 2020). Don’t fall behind, consider a better time tracking method for your employees.
