ComplianceHR Updates

Since President Trump took office, there have been executive orders and anticipated changes that create new immigration-related considerations for employers. If you would like to gain a better understanding of these considerations and the outcomes ahead, we invite you to listen to Littler's podcast, "The First 100 Days: Executive Orders Impacting Immigration Policy."

As you know, we are monitoring the executive orders issued during the Trump Administration’s first 100 days in office. To make it easier for you to check out these orders, links to Littler’s Executive Order Tracker and Rescinded Order Tracker are now located at the top of your platform.

As 2024 is quickly drawing to a close, we know you have questions about changes that will be occurring in 2025. We encourage you to take an hour away from the year-end hustle and bustle  to attend our webinar “What to Expect in 2025: A Highlight Reel.”

It may be hard to believe that 2024 has almost come to an end, but next week is December! Before getting caught up in the end-of-the-year scramble and looking at legal updates that will be happening, we want to encourage you to pause and take a breath. We are here to help you with your compliance needs. If you have questions about compliance in general or would like some ideas on things you should be keeping in mind, check out “The Ultimate HR Compliance Guide.”

This guide includes helpful information, covering topics such as:

On November 15, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas overturned the DOL’s rule that raised the salary threshold for the “white collar” overtime exemption under the FLSA. As a result, the salary increase that occurred on July 1, 2024, for the FLSA’s executive, administrative, and professional exemptions is no longer in place. This also means that the increase planned on January 1, 2025, will no longer take effect. To learn more, check out Littler’s ASAP “Federal Court Strikes Down Rule Raising Salary Threshold for White Collar Overtime Exemptions.”

Navigator OT has been updated with the resulting federal salary rate, which is $684 per week, or $35,558 per year. Evaluations completed between 9:00 pm EST on June 17, 2024, and 6:30 pm EST November 18, 2024, had the July 1st salary threshold applied. If you previously completed an evaluation and would like to rerun the evaluation, you can do that by following these steps.
