The Seyfarth Shaw Wage Hour Litigation Practice Group has published its "Reclassification Guidebook: Planning & Managing Changes to Exempt Status Under the FLSA."
The Guidebook contains guidelines and tools related to key decision points that Seyfarth anticipates employers will confront as they determine, plan and execute changes in response to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act’s revised executive, administrative and professional exemption rule, whose first phase — increasing the EAP exemption’s salary level requirement from $684/week to $844/week (or $43,888/year) — took effect on July 1, 2024, and whose second phase — increasing that threshold to $1,128/week (or $58,656/year) — takes effect on January 1, 2025.
