On April 26, 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor published a final rule, Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales, and Computer Employees, which will take effect on July 1, 2024. The final rule updates and revises the regulations issued under section 13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) implementing an exemption from minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for executive, administrative, and professional employees. 

The department’s Wage and Hour Division will offer online seminars to provide a general overview of requirements under section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA, and will discuss the final rule's revisions, including scheduled increases to certain earnings thresholds required for exemption.
