DOL Announces Additional Listening Sessions on Overtime Regulations

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division has been reviewing the regulations that implement the Fair Labor Standard Act’s minimum wage and overtime exemptions for bona fide executive, administrative, and professional employees. DOL announced it will hold additional virtual listening sessions in May and June for both worker and employer stakeholders. These sessions are organized by region.

Dates and times for each listening session are listed online. To participate, register here. These are public events.

​
In this event notice, the agency seeks stakeholder input on issues such as:

• The appropriate salary level above which the exemptions for bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employees may apply.
• The costs and benefits of increasing the salary level to employers and employees, including increasing wages and reducing litigation costs.​
  
• The best methodology for updating the salary level, and the appropriate frequency of updates.
