Steps to take ahead of possible DOL change in exempt salary qualifications by @bizdaily

The Department of Labor may soon release proposed regulations raising the salary employees must earn to remain exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act. The current weekly salary is $684 a week or $35,568 a year. Highly compensated employees may be paid at least $107,432 a year, including $684 a week. It’s likely the increase won’t be prohibitive. Why: Final regulations issued in 2016 almost doubled the salary threshold and were thrown out by a federal court.
