LEGAL ALERT: New Overtime Rules in Limbo

New Overtime Rules in Limbo: How to Respond

A Texas court's shocking decision to slam the brakes on the big federal overtime rule just days before its Dec. 1 effective date has left HR, payroll and employers confused about what to do next.

The injunction is temporary, so the new rules—which aim to raise the overtime salary threshold from $23,660 annually to $47,476—could still be implemented in the coming weeks.

Or the injunction could be upheld.

Or the court (or the Trump administration) could scrap them completely and go back to the drawing board.

Or the DOL may seek an immediate emergency appeal of the injunction—an action that could create even more chaos.

Making the wrong decisions during this turbulent time could cost your organization millions down the road. You need practical guidance on how to proceed with your compensation plans and practices.

On Tuesday, December 6, join attorney Anniken Davenport to learn how to survive these days of overtime law limbo. Learn answers to questions like:

  • What's the long-term fate of these important FLSA changes—in court and with the Trump administration?
  • What to do if you've already reclassified employees or raised exempt employees' salaries to meet the threshold? Reverse the changes? Stay the course?
  • What if you've announced changes but hadn't yet implemented them?
  • What if you got lucky and hadn't made any changes yet?
  • How do you communicate all this to employees in the simplest, most pain-free way?
  • What answers will your CEO want—and how should you explain them?
  • What's the risk of doing nothing?
  • Why revising your bonus program with the aim of using the new credit allowed against salary may be a good move now.

Plus, you'll have the opportunity to ask Anniken your own questions about this complex, confusing situation. And the first 100 people to register will receive a copy of our plain-English special report, The 2016 Overtime Rules: How to Comply, which has been updated to include advice about the November 22 bombshell.

The decisions you make in the coming weeks will have a dramatic effect on the way you pay, classify and manage your employees. You can't afford to make mistakes. On December 6, join us for a clear explanation of the overtime rules, the ongoing legal battle and concrete steps your organization needs to take right now.
