On July 25, 2017, the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division announced its intent to publish a Request for Information (RFI) seeking input from the public before issuing revised proposed overtime exemption regulations to address, most significantly, the minimum salary level required for exempt status. These regulations apply to workers employed in an executive, administrative or professional capacity, and meet specific criteria relating to salary basis, salary level and job duties. The regulations, codified at 29 C.F.R. part 541, are referred to as the “white collar” exemptions.
