Chamber Calendar
In March 2014, President Obama directed the Secretary of Labor to update the overtime regulations in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). In May 2016, the Department of Labor issued a final rule that raised the minimum salary threshold to $47,476 per year. That rule was declared invalid by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and the Fifth Circuit dismissed the Department of Labor’s appeal at the Department’s request in September 2017.

Kohl’s Distribution Center There is no cost to attend this event.Department of Labor Overtime Pay Ruling - Informational Meeting
The Department of Labor is now proposing to formally rescind the 2016 rule and is proposing a new rule that would take effect January 1, 2020.
Employers with salaried employees under $35,308 annually should closely monitor the development of the rule and be prepared to adjust their pay practices.
This proposed rule raises the salary threshold from $455 per week ($23,660 per year) to $679 per week ($35,308 per year). Unless exempt, employees covered by the FLSA must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a work week.
This session is presented by Jim Holland who is managing partner of the Kansas City office of Fisher & Phillips. His firm works with employers on how to avoid workplace issues before they become lawsuits.
