Consulting offers comprehensive services that assess and review
all compensation plans and communication materials to ensure compliance
with the Fair Labor Standards Act which was recently updated by
the Department of Labor to reflect a more contemporary work environment.
On August
23,2004 new rules governing overtime eligibility for “white-collar”
workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act took effect. These
new rules are the first significant changes to the FLSA in nearly
a half century; most notably, they seek to update rules regarding
which employees are eligible for overtime pay. Let us help explain
the new changes and provide the necessary resources to help you
understand what effect these new rules will have on your company.
These new rules clearly define what the specific requirements
are for exemption from overtime for the following job categories:
- Executive
- management is the employee's primary duty
- Administrative
- employee performing non-manual office work
- Professional/creative
- employee whose work requires highly advanced knowledge/education;
creative and artistic professional
- Computer
professional - employee involved in design or application
of computers and related systems
- Outside
sales - employee making sales or taking orders which
influence sales outside of the employer's premises
