ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:

After almost a year of discussion, and more than 270,000 comments, the Department of Labor just issued its long-awaited new overtime rules, which include a significant increase to the salary thresholds for exempt and highly compensated employees.  Employers have until December 1, 2016, to comply with the new rules.  Our panelists will discuss the new rules and provide best practices for compliance to avoid unnecessary business expense and costly litigation.
