ComplianceHR Updates

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.

On July 1, 2024, the final overtime rule goes into effect, and the salary level needed to qualify for the FLSA’s executive, administrative, and professional exemption will increase to $844 per week ($43,888 annualized). To make sure you have some time to prepare, we have decided to update the salary rate in Navigator OT on June 17, 2024. Evaluations submitted after 9 pm EST that day will use the new salary level.

On June 1, 2024, a new expansive anti-discrimination ordinance goes into effect in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. This ordinance establishes protected characteristics and includes prohibitions relating to salary history and criminal record history. You can learn more about the new ordinance here.

We are excited to announce that we have been making updates to the Posters Report on the Reference Center so that it will be easier for you to use!

A few weeks ago, we let you know about exciting Reference Center updates that were in the works. Now we’re happy to announce that those updates are live and accessible through your ComplianceHR Platform! The Knowledge Center has also been updated with information on the new features that are now available. 

Just a reminder: If you usually access the Littler State Guides through PolicySmart^TM, you will now need to go to the Reference Center to access those guides.

On Monday, March 11, 2024, the new independent contractor rule took effect. As Littler explained, the new rule:

We are excited to let you know that updates to the Reference Center are coming soon! Following our product roadmap and some client feedback, there will be new features we think you will find useful:

All content will be available in the Reference Center format. This will allow you to create content smart links and compare jurisdictions for all topics in the Reference Center, with the exception of the Comprehensive Guidance. 

The Comprehensive Guides will open within the Reference Center, allowing you to pick a different jurisdiction or topic without navigating to a different tab in your browser.

You will have the option of expanding all content with one click, or you can scroll down and expand just the content you would like to view.

The main menu will have the ability to select a different topic, not just jurisdiction, so you don’t have to go back to your Platform homepage to change topics.

You will be able to view reports in Comparison View. This view will allow you to see report content organized by subtopic (or question) instead of jurisdiction, which is helpful if you want to drill down into a more specific topic across multiple jurisdictions.

The Timeline View will let you quickly see upcoming effective dates for the topic you are viewing.

We will let you know when the new version of the Reference Center is available and will update the Knowledge Center with tips on using these new features. 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 also spent some time reviewing the updates we made to our solutions in 2023. Here are our top 4 highlights:

As December is flying by, we’ve been working to make sure our solutions are ready to go for the new year. You will see updates throughout the ComplianceHR Reference Center that display future effective information, along with policy updates to be aware of in PolicySmart^TM. Navigator OT and Navigator IC will be updated a little closer to the new year, so you can continue running up-to-date risk analyses.
