SUMMARY:Changes in Overtime Law
DESCRIPTION:On September 24\, 2019\, the U.S. Department of Labor announced a final rule to make 1.3 million American workers newly eligible for overtime pay.  Are your employees part of this pool?  Hear from Steven McKinney from the US Department of Labor\, Wage and Hour Division on exactly what these changes mean and what you need to do to comply.  \n\n\n\nMore about Overtime Final Rule\n\nThe final rule updates the earnings thresholds necessary to exempt executive\, administrative and professional employees from the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA) minimum wage and overtime pay requirements\, and allows employers to count a portion of certain bonuses/commissions towards meeting the salary level.
