Overview: On March 31, 2003, the Department of Labor (“DOL”) published proposed regulations that redefine the “white collar” exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA” or the “Act”). The proposed rules would substantially modify which employees are “exempt” from the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the FLSA, and would alter the tests employers use to classify their employees as “exempt” or “non-exempt” under the Act. There are several key changes in the proposed rules. Some of these include: Special rule for “highly compensated employees", Liberalization of the safe harbor provision, Authorization of full-day deductions from pay for disciplinary reasons and many more.
