In March 2014, President Obama ordered the U.S. Department of Labor to revise the “white collar” overtime exemption regulations. Declaring “Americans have spent too long working more and getting less in return,” the President ordered the revision of the overtime exemption regulations with a goal of making millions more workers eligible for overtime pay. On May 5, 2015, Secretary of Labor Perez announced that the DOL has submitted the proposed changes to the overtime regulations to the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval.
