On August 23, 2004, the United States Department of Labor implemented new regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act that significantly change the exemptions to overtime. The focus of the new regulations is the ?white-collar? exemptions to overtime executive, administrative, and professional. Employers in the health care fields now must assess their workforce to determine who is and who isn?t exempt. Our speakers will review the basics of the federal overtime requirements and exemptions, the details of the new regulations, the impact on health care employment, interaction with state law, and the future of the enforcement of the regulations.
