Introduction

Are you prepared for the onset of the Department of Labor’s new federal overtime regulations? Many organizations tend to struggle with employee classification standards and are even further confused by the criteria(s) used to determine the appropriate classification. Moreover, incorrectly administering FLSA could pose significant risks to your company.


The expected FLSA salary level updates and overtime protections associated with the new regulation demands a clear understanding of exempt vs. nonexempt employee classifications and the “tests” used to make that determination. While this might seem like a straightforward task for an HR professional, there are various aspects of FLSA regulations that fall into the gray areas, including:

  • Bonuses
  • Seasonal workers
  • Weekly compliance
  • Comp time
  • Sales commissions
  • And more
