Prepare Now! Big Changes Announced for Overtime Exemption
Effective January 1, 2020, new overtime regulations will take effect from the US Department of Labor’s
proposed FLSA changes. These changes aim to ensure that people are paid fairly for the amount of work
they perform based on the classification of “Exempt Employee.” This change is estimated to affect 1.3
million full-time salaried workers who will become eligible to receive overtime pay.
Why is this relevant?
Failure to pay overtime pay correctly can result in fines and penalties under both the Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA) and other state and local laws. Planning ahead for these major changes can prevent you from
the pain of a Department of Labor audit. Continue reading for useful time lines and checklists for Plan-
