Employers are eager to see what the DOL’s new overtime rules will look like this summer — not because they’re fans, but because they want to see how much their FLSA compliance efforts will have to change in a very short period of time (within 60 days, most likely).
Employers don’t know exactly what the rules will look like, but they do know the requirements — like a higher salary threshold for exempt employees — will make more employees OT-eligible.
An increase (and likely a large one to boot) in the number of non-exempt employees is scary enough for employers. But it likely won’t end there.
