How might the new overtime rules affect your business?

Description

Abstract: A new DOL rule will change the way employers determine which white-collar employees are entitled to additional pay for overtime hours worked. Once the rule takes effect on December 1, 2016, an estimated 4.2 million additional salaried workers — generally executive, administrative and professional employees — could become eligible for overtime pay. This article provides an update on the rules and whom it will affect. A sidebar explains the DOL definition of “blue collar” worker.
