Update on the FLSA Exemption Regulations

It has been reported that on February 17, 2016, U.S. Solicitor of Labor, Patricia Smith, announced at an American Bar Association conference that the white-collar exemption regulations will be published in July 2016, with an effective date 60 days after publication. When the U.S. Department of Labor last revised the exemptions, which was in 2004, the regulations became effective 120 days after publication.
