SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May 24, 2016—The U.S. Department of Labor came out with new overtime rules last week, including a doubling of the threshold. While the National Federation of Independent Business continues its fight against them, the nation’s voice of small business is also preparing its members for their compliance start date on December 1 of this year.
The media and Utah small-business owners, whether or not they are NFIB members, are invited to listen to a special, free webinar on how to comply with the new overtime rules tomorrow, Wednesday, May 25 at 10 a.m., MDT. Click here to register.
The webinar will be presented by Tammy McCutchen, a principal at Littler Mendelson. In addition to serving as vice president and managing director of Strategic Solutions for Compliance HR, she is a leading authority on federal and state wage-hour laws and prevailing wage laws.
Reporters and editorial page editors wanting to stay abreast of the overtime issue can find a one-stop informational page at www.nfib.com/overtime. It has background information, the four steps needed to comply, prior media stories, videos, and NFIB’s efforts to fight the rules.
