📣 Attn HR Pros: The DOL has published their Final Rule regarding Restoring and Extending Overtime Protections. Effective 7/1/2024, the standard salary level for exemptions will raise from $684 per week ($35,568 per year) to $844 per week ($43,888 per year). On 1/1/2025, there will be another increase to $1,128 per week ($58,656 per year). Every 3 years thereafter, the salary levels will be adjusted (starting 7/1/2027 and moving forward). As part of this update, the Highly Compensated Employee (HCE) total annual compensation threshold also increased. It's important for employers to start reviewing their current exempt population now to determine which employees will be impacted. Employers will also want to assess the potential financial impact to the business, whether their approach to ensure compliance will be raising salaries to maintain the exempt status of those employees below the updated threshold or moving employees below the threshold to non-exempt status and beginning to pay overtime based on federal and/or state regulations.

The Department of Labor on April 29 issued a final rule rescinding Trump-era regulations that expanded the number and types of employers that could band together to create association health plans to cover their employees. The 2018 regulations, which have been in legal limbo since 2019, also allowed these association health plans avoid many consumer-protection elements of the Affordable Care Act, which critics said would open the door to participating employers offering insufficient coverage. Here's why the DOL decided to put an end to these rules and how the landscape changes. https://lnkd.in/gShSPuei
