Seems the government was busy little bees last week.  The change in Highly Compensated Employee level is going to hammer small businesses.

NOTICE: On April 23, 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) announced a final rule, Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales, and Computer Employees, which will take effect on July 1, 2024. The final rule updates and revises the regulations issued under section 13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act implementing the exemption from minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for executive, administrative, and professional (EAP) employees. Revisions include increases to the standard salary level and the highly compensated employee total annual compensation threshold, and a mechanism that provides for the timely and efficient updating of these earnings thresholds to reflect current earnings data.

Salaried individuals still don't get overtime

Do you know how many times I've heard in construction something along the lines of "I put him on salary, works out better for both of us because of the overtime savings".

Sure thing pal, might want to read the law about that first. Almost every field position is considered "non-exempt".

If those employees ever found out they could rake their employers right over the coals.

I hear it everywhere.  I don’t think people understand it’s not a choice.  It’s based on criteria as to whether or not you can make some exempt.   You don’t just get to decide.

I usually keep my mouth shut because I don't want to start a rift, but if it's just me and the employer talking I'll just casually ask what they do about overtime pay.

Some of the answers get interesting, and some of them seem to think they are completely exempt and just because they pay their laborers $1500/week all year long that they can work them 60 hours all summer without paying extra.

I'm not sure what kind of FSLA posting requirements there are in the shop or office, but the employees would be pissed if they found out, and would likely have a lawsuit they could easily win.

I'll never do salary. I just want my guys to know that output comes from input. Put in lots of hours, get a big fat check. I try to encourage OT because it's extra money for them and it means my shit gets done faster.

So in my line of work as a firefighter, our Captains can make overtime, but our next rank above Captain - Battalion Chiefs, Deputy Chiefs, and Assistant Chiefs cannot being admin people.  How does this effect them, if any?

Sorry, but I am not an HR lawyer.

The government loves to make it illegal to do what they do all the time.

They actually specify in federal law that many of the blue-collar, hourly positions within certain Federal agencies are exempt.

Looks like it just changes the earning threshold for exempt classified employees. So if they are earning under the minimum requirement they will eligible for OT pay.

My guess is most companies will simply give raises or start limiting hours.

My wife's company used to pay OT to the underwriters so she could get some easy extra money each week by just staying an hour late every day. She's exempt so it was company policy.

They took that policy away, and people stopped working late. Not sure how it affected things, but now when she does work late I ask her if she likes working for free and she gets mad at me.

Yeah I work wild hours, but I'm also the owner, totally different.

The laws are weird too.

When we do prevailing wage jobs I have to submit a form with the state each time stating that we will be working 10 hour days. If I don't then any hours after 8 during a normal working day are subject to OT regardless of weekly hours.

Typically I submit it, and we work Mon-Thurs on the job and then either do a different job that's normal rate or do shop work on Friday. I'll do any Friday or Saturday work on my own on site or I'll hold someone off site one day that week so they can help me on Friday and not be subject to OT pay.

OT can kill you on those projects, I was paying like $58/hr on the last one.

Depends on your job classification.

You could be making $200k/year salary as a construction foreman but still subject to OT pay.

Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales, and Computer Employees


This new rule really doesn't apply to anyone outside of those job classifications.

Google says the average annual salary in Q4 of 2023 was $59,384.  The "high compensated" numbers are just about all at least double that average.  So I would say so.

I don't understand why this is a big deal? This is essentially just inflation adjustment a the compensation portion of the "exempt or nonexempt" employee classification that has been in place for years.

Like if we used to consider cars "high mileage" at 85k, but today maybe we consider them "high mileage" at 100k because they last longer.

I believe we just had a large thread about this last week.

Americas small businesses all have fire insurance and health insurance, but most have no permanent, trained employment law/HR person and they completely ignore the giant glaring risk which is their own employees and how they manage them.

The Department of Labor loves making examples out of small/medium companies who try to party like it is still the 80's.

I'm going to speculate that their overtime pay is about the same as you would be shelling out for an additional regular time employee.

It’s a big deal because a lot of companies have been skirting around the exempt/non-exempt classification using only the salary component. Take a restaurant shift manager making $120k. Before, you didn’t have to track hours because they were considered HCE. Now, well you better have all your ducks in a row to validate they are exempt because they no longer are a HCE.

I maybe confused here but I think being a HCE is not a requirement for being an exempt employee. A HVE will almost always be an exempt employee but it is not a requirement. HCE has to do with benefits received. A 401k plan is not top heavy. A top heavy plan has more benefits going to HCE than the rest. One of the exceptions to the rule is for plans that give all employees 3% without requiring an employee contribution.

I don’t know how much authority a shift manger has but I would think they qualify. The $120k salary is more than enough. If they supervise at least two FTE employees and their primary job is managing others, they will have met the requirements. I am including the power to hire and fire employees or at least having a significant input on the hire and fire decisions.

I have been retired over ten years so things could have changed.

This is a STATE issue

You're missing the interdependence of the branches of government with the constitution. This is has been long established and was most recently upheld in 2022 with WV v EPA when EPA went beyond their statutory authority to implement regulations.

The constitution grants Congress explicit authority to enact legislation. The administrative branch is authorized by congressional statute and presidential mandate to implement the laws passed by Congress via administrative agency regulations. This clearly is not a state issue.

Yes as a matter of established case law.

How does an agency decide to begin rulemaking?

Congress
may
pass
a
law
that
directs
an
agency
to
take
action
on
a
certain
subject
and
set
a

schedule
for
the
agency
to
follow
in
issuing
rules.

More
often,
an
agency
surveys
its
area
of

legal
responsibility,
and
then
decides
which
issues
or
goals
have
priority
for
rulemaking.

These
are
a
few
of
the
many
factors
that
an
agency
may
consider:


●

New
technologies
or
new
data
on
existing
issues;
●

Concerns
arising
from
accidents
or
various
problems
affecting
society;

● 
Recommendations
from
Congressional
committees
or
federal
advisory
committees;
●

Petitions
from
interest
groups,
corporations,
and
members
of
the
public;
●

Lawsuits
filed
by
interest
groups,
corporations,
States,
and
members
of
the
public;
●

Presidential
directives;
●

“Prompt
letters”
from
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(OMB);
●

Requests
from
other
agencies;
●

Studies
and
recommendations
of
agency
staff.

Most states Department of Labor rule salary exempt (no O/T) only applies to Professional Managers

Professional Managers can hire and fire at-will

Not, "hey boss, we need a couple of new guys for the crew. Can I place an ad?"

Professional Managers say, "we needed 2 new guys so I hired them"

Budget is down so I fired them, not " these new guys aren't working out, can I fire them?

It weeds out the field fast. There aren't that many pro Managers that qualify as exempt (no ot)

"Straw bosses" and working bosses (team leaders) are NOT exempt from ot

As a LTL linehaul driver. Made $2123 on tomorrow's paycheck. That's for working 45 hours on the 70 hour rule.

Don't want no overtime dont need no overtime. Drive from KC down into the Ozarks to meet a Memphis driver, we switch loads, we both return to home domicile and go home. Rinse and repeat 4 more times per week.

I'll never go back to city P&D where overtime applies.

The laws are written that way.
