Polsinelli's article provides a comprehensive review of the Department of Labor's final rule raising overtime exemption thresholds. According to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers must provide overtime pay to employees who work over 40 hours in a week unless they are exempt under FLSA regulations. To qualify for exemption, employees must meet specific criteria, one of which is earning a salary equal to or exceeding the thresholds established by the Department of Labor (DOL).
