Susan Eisenberg, a member of Cozen O'Connor's Labor & Employment department, will be speaking at this webinar hosted by Practical Law and the Wage & Hour Defense Institute. This 75-minute webinar will provide guidance on the U.S. Department of Labor’s final rule, updating the regulations governing white collar exemptions under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
The rule, which takes effect Dec. 1, 2016, doubles the minimum weekly salary threshold required for the exempt classification of executive, administrative, professional, and computer professional employees. In addition, the new rule increases the minimum annual compensation and weekly salary requirements for exempt highly compensated employees (HCEs), and the special salary levels for employees in the motion picture industry and employees in American Samoa.
