Please participate in this survey to help NALP respond to the U.S. Department of Labor’s proposed devastating changes to the white collar exemptions to federal overtime pay requirements.
Currently, a person must satisfy three criteria to qualify as “exempt”:
1. They must make a salary;
2. That salary must be more than $455/week ($23,660 annually);
3. Their “primary duties” must be consistent with managerial, professional or administrative positions as defined by DOL.
In the proposal, DOL is considering raising the minimum salary threshold to $970 per week ($50,440 annually); an increase of more than 100 percent. NALP needs your help in collecting data about how this will impact your business. This information will help provide comments to the federal register notice so NALP can document with data its impact to the industry as a whole; they will also need to hear directly from the businesses that will be affected. This data will help answer the Department’s questions regarding the current primary duties test used to determine whether an employee's primary responsibilities exempt them from overtime.
