We’ve shared with you a summary of the new overtime rules that go into effect on December 1, 2016. Some of our clients have gotten a jump on preparing for the change by:
- Reviewing which of their employees are classified as exempt from overtime.
- Checking if any of these employees are being paid a salary less than the new salary minimum of $47,476.
