In July, we wrote about the Department of Labor’s proposed changes to the regulations governing the white collar exemptions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The current regulations governing these exemptions—executive, administrative, and professional—include a salary basis test by which to determine if an employee meets one of these exemptions. The salary basis test currently requires that an exempt employee be paid at least $455 per week (or $23,660 annually). Among other things, the proposed changes to the regulations would increase the salary test to $970 per week (or $50,440 annually) in 2016.
