"Getting Ahead of the Curve on the DOL's New White Collar Exemption Thresholds and Independent Contractor Class," Davis Wright Tremaine Webinar
On July 23, Washington, D.C., employment services attorneys Jeremy Merkelson, Jaime Walter, Mohamed Barry, and Alicia Hines discussed the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) final rule on classification of independent contractors that went into effect on March 11, 2024. They also discussed recent changes to the standards governing who is exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA) minimum wage and overtime rules (which have a July 1, 2024, effective date). This webinar reviews the new multi-factor test under the DOL's contractor classification rule, the new salary thresholds under the FLSA exemptions, how to assess the potential impact of these changes to your business, and how to effectively communicate with the workforce about needed changes.
