Program Description:
The Department of Labor’s new salary minimum for white-collar exempt employees may lead to budgetary challenges for many businesses. As the December 1, 2016 compliance date for the $47,476 minimum salary for white-collar exempt employees is almost upon us, many businesses are looking for appropriate solutions and necessary budget changes in order to meet this date. Please join Polsinelli Shareholder Carol C. Barnett as she discusses updates and challenges your organization may face and steps to take to ensure your organization is on the right track now that the regulations have been published.
