DOL’s Final Ruling and Changes to Overtime Threshold in 2024
Join us to learn about the changes to salary levels in 2024. We will also discuss the DOL’s final ruling on independent contractor classification becoming effective from 3/11/2024. Federal & State minimum wage proposals will also be explained.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), commonly referred to as the Wage and Hour Act, was passed in 1938 and since then has been amended many times. The major provisions of the FLSA are concerned with minimum wage rates and overtime payments, child labor, and equal rights. The US Department of Labor, Wage & Hour Division, oversees federal labor laws. Additionally, State DOLs administer state labor laws. Failure to comply with Wage & Hour laws may result in the employer paying the employee back wages, damages, penalties, attorney fees and court costs, plus the prospect of civil and criminal penalties from federal and/or state governments. Therefore, Wage & Hour compliance is of the utmost importance.
