adminA roundtable was hosted by the Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy to discuss the Department of Labor’s proposed Overtime Rule under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The DOL’s proposal would increase the minimum salary for the “white collar” overtime exemption from $23,660 annually to $35,308 annually. The proposed threshold is lower than the threshold of $47,476 finalized in a 2016 rulemaking. The 2016 rulemaking never became effective due to federal court challenges of the rule’s legality.
Comments on the proposal are due May 21. Read the full Washington Wire here.
