In September, the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to revise the regulations governing the "white collar" overtime exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This proposal would substantially increase the minimum salary threshold to qualify as exempt from the FLSA's obligation to pay overtime for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Specifically, the DOL proposed to set the salary level at the 35th percentile of weekly earnings for full-time salaried workers based on the lowest-wage Census region. The public comment period has closed and the DOL announced that it plans to issue the final rule in April 2024.
