About the Program: Federal and state laws address overtime and minimum wage rules that affect more employers and their employees. There are some common exemptions to these rules that apply to executive, administrative, professional, outside sales and computer employees. The salary level for these exemptions are set to increase on December 1, 2016, although the "duties" test will remain the same.

Join Attorney's Brian G. Formella and Amy A. Jahnke at this X-Change as they explain about the "Final Rule" relating to the salary basis test for certain employees. Learn as well about what is staying the same and how the Final Rule may affect your business and your employees.
