The final rule for the new "white collar" overtime regulations from the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") is likely to be published in spring or summer of 2016.

As we previously reported, the DOL issued proposed regulations in July 2015 announcing significant changes to the law governing certain "white collar" workers who are exempt from minimum wage and overtime pay. The DOL's proposed regulations more than double the current minimum salary level for exempt employees, significantly increase the salary level required for employees to be exempt from overtime as highly compensated employees, and automatically adjust the minimum salary level each year to account for the increase in the cost of living.
