Increased FLSA Threshold for White Collar Exemptions Takes Effect at the Start of the New Year
Posted in Wage & Hour
In order to fit within the white-collar exemption, an employee must meet both the new pay threshold and the job duties test (analyzing what an employee actually does, rather than just looking at a job title). The new rule does not change the job duties test. Updating the list of employees now qualifying for the white-collar exemption under the revised threshold will also present employers with a good opportunity to review all employee exempt and non-exempt classifications. Incorrect FLSA classifications by employers continue to create significant legal exposure for employers. Employers should engage in a careful and thoughtful review of their exempt and non-exempt job determinations.
