ComplianceHR Updates

Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Labor released the final rule for overtime eligibility. The final rule is scheduled to take effect July 1, 2024, and increases the salary level needed to qualify for the FLSA’s administrative, executive, and professional exemption to $844 per week ($43,888 per year). If you would like to learn more about the new rule, check out Littler’s ASAP “Department of Labor Publishes Final Rule to Update the Salary Level for Overtime Eligibility.”

It’s been a white since we’ve discussed the proposed updates to the Overtime rule, and we just wanted to let you know we’re still keeping our eyes on it. Just recently, the proposed rule passed White House review, and the final ruling is expected to occur in the near future. We will continue to keep you updated.

In the meantime, we encourage you to continue using Navigator OT to help you determine the risk of classifying your positions as exempt or non-exempt. This not only helps you now, but also after the final rule is published and goes into effect. Once the final rule is published and Navigator OT is updated, you will be able to copy and rerun previous evaluations for positions you think may be affected by the new rule.

If you’d like to learn more about the risks associated with overtime classification, we invite you to check out our most recent whitepaper about overtime: "The Danger of Making the Wrong Overtime Classification Decision." You can also learn more about Navigator OT in the Knowledge Center.

Please feel free to reach out to us at support@compliancehr.com with any questions.

Happy New Year! We are excited to see what 2024 brings, and we hope you are, too! One of the things we did first this year was update our Product Roadmap to show our goals for the new year. We’re hitting the ground running because we can’t wait to continue enhancing our solutions for you!

We hope you have had a chance to check out the new version of Navigator OT! To make your transition to using the new version of Navigator OT even easier, we have released new copy functionality. Now, when you copy an evaluation located in Navigator OT Legacy, the evaluation is generated with the new version’s questionnaire. The copied evaluation is saved within Navigator OT, instead of Navigator OT Legacy, and generates the updated risk report upon completion.

Here are a few ways the copy feature in Navigator OT Legacy can be used:

As the remote work and hybrid work trends continue, so have questions about which employment laws apply to remote workers. Earlier this month, Littler released a short video addressing the question “How do I identify the state employment laws that apply to our remote workers?” Although the answer is definitely not clear cut, our solutions can help you navigate your own questions that arise.

Last week, we worked with our partner Littler Mendelson to present a webinar covering the new proposed overtime regulations. If have questions or are curious about the new proposed overtime regulations, we encourage you to check out this webinar: “Understanding the DOL’s Proposed Update to Overtime Regulations.” It includes:
