At the end of July, the Department of Labor officially released their Request for Information for the Fair Labor Standards Act. During August and September, the public will have the opportunity to comment on a variety of issues to define and delimit FLSA exemptions.
Those key issues include the following:
The DOL encourages Employers and HR to give their input on the impact the Obama administration’s 2016 rule may have had on their organizations. The DOL would also like to glean more information on how employers prepared for the 2016 changes (raised salaries, decreased hours, etc). This is an opportunity to give your voice in this federal decision-making process.
The public may submit written comments on the RFI no later than September 25, 2017.
