DOL Issues Proposed Rulemaking to Expand FLSA Overtime Protections | Practical Law
The US Department of Labor (DOL) announced a proposed rule that would update the regulations governing which white collar employees are entitled to the minimum wage and overtime pay protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This proposal would extend these protections to nearly 5 million workers within the first year of its implementation by increasing the minimum compensation and salary levels required for exemption.
