For most of the year, we have been discussing the upcoming FLSA regulations and what employers can expect related to the white collar exemptions. Recently, the DOL delayed the release of proposed rules, potentially for several months. The DOL’s announcement has raised a host of questions, some of which I discussed with SHRM’s legal editor, Allen Smith, this week. The DOL’s own “savage journey to the heart of the American Dream”—at least the part of it that defines how you must be paid while chasing it—continues to raise questions for employers (apologies to Hunter S. Thompson fans…I couldn’t resist). With Election Day upon us, it is a good time to take a deeper look at this issue and review some of the top questions we have received on this topic.
