Paychex THRIVE, a Business Podcast
Business
With the U.S. DOL's New Overtime Rule taking effect July 1, FLSA-covered employers across the country are subject to the rule's updated salary thresholds for Executive, Administrative, and Professional white-collar exemptions and HCE employees. The DOL is, however, temporarily restrained from enforcing the rule against the state of Texas, as an employer, after a federal district court issued a preliminary injunction. Tammy Tyler, Employment Law Compliance Manager of Compliance Risk at Paychex, shares insights on the rule and how employers may respond, including how communication and training are essential.
