DOL’s New Overtime Regulations

Companies must be in compliance with the new rules, which will affect millions of workers, by December 1. In a Today’s General Counsel article, Littler attorneys Lisa A. Schreter and Tammy D. McCutchen look at what this will mean for employers and suggest strategies they can consider as they confront it. Specifically, they look at five steps that employers may take, including the important step of deciding whether to provide salary increases or reclassify employees who will be affected. The authors include detailed formulas to help employers make that determination.
