Last month, the U.S. Department of Labor issued final changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) which update the minimum salary level a worker must earn in order to be classified as exempt from overtime pay as an executive, administrative, or professional employee, from $455 per week to $913 per week. When the final rule goes into effect on December 1, 2016, this change will mean that most employees earning less than $913 per week ($47,476 per year) will need to be paid overtime pay for any hours worked over 40 within a work week.

The following resources are available to assist employers in determining whether these changes apply to them, how their workforce will be affected, and how to comply with the law.
