Have you seen the recent proposal from the Department of Labor to change the regulations on salaried exempt employees? What would this change mean for you as an employer? This would have a large impact on the way that you determine which employees are salaried or hourly. Your employee’s exempt and non-exempt classification would potentially change which could create an increase in overtime wages paid. If accepted, the proposal would raise the salary threshold from $23,660 annually to about $50,440 annually. This proposal is projected to be finalized by the end of 2015 and in effect in 2016. How do you prepare for this change without having it impact your business? As a client of StaffScapes, we provide various services to ensure any regulatory changes minimally impact your company.
