HR After Dark

U.S. Department of Labor finalized rules to increase the exempt salary compensation thresholds. As a reminder, some classifications such as Executive, Administrative, and Professional can be exempt from the Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime rules if they are: duties tests. The new rules were released on April 23, 2024. Below is a high-level overview of the changes and we will provide more information and detail as we work diligently to understand the specifics of the rule change. We anticipate business groups or states opposing the final rule may file litigation similar to what happened in 2016, however you should not count on the rule being stopped. One of the first steps is to make a list of your current exempt employees that make less than $43,888 annually and $58,656 annually. Our team of HR Consultants are glad to help you navigate these changes. We can help your business develop strategies to mitigate the risks and potential impacts to your budget. JER HR Group will hold a webinar in the future to cover more details. As we have more information we will continue to provide updates to you. If you have any questions on our HR services, please contact Becky Page at becky@jerhrgroup.com. For more updates please be sure to go to jerhrgroup.com and sign up for our newsletter.
