Employers with exempt (salaried) employees – do not forget that the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) salary threshold increases January 1, 2020 to $684 per week ($35,568). This means, that if you have a salaried exempt employee making LESS than $684 per week, effective January 1, 2020, they will need to be reclassified as non-exempt and will be eligible for overtime pay. If you need more details about the revised so-called white collar regulations, you can view my earlier post here. Also, don’t forget that the rule changes do not change the duties tests. Just because someone meets the salary threshold does not necessarily mean they meet the duties test!
