Employers have roughly four months to achieve compliance with the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) new Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) exemption regulations, the department announced today. In a Federal Register notice officially unveiling the rules, DOL established Aug. 23, 2004, as the date the new rules will take effect.
On that date, to be eligible for an exemption from the federal minimum wage and overtime provisions, “white-collar” executive, administrative, professional and computer workers must meet the revised salary and duties tests promulgated in 29 C.F.R. Part 541 of DOL’s rules.
Garlo Ward will be providing you with a summary of the new regulations and how they will affect your staff. In the meantime, you may visit the U.S. Government Printing Office web site (http://www.gpoaccess.gov/) to view and download the regulations. Simply select the “Federal Register” link and then enter the information relating to DOL’s notice (Federal Register, Vol. 69 No. 29, April 23, 2004, pp. 22122-22274).
