Salary basis is key.

If you avoid paying overtime to certain staff based on the white collar exemption to the Fair Labor and Standards Act, you’ll want to review who is affected by newly proposed changes to the exemption.

But first, make sure your employees qualify for the exemption by meeting these criteria:

(1) perform bona fide executive, administrative, or professional duties, as defined in the regulations;

(2) are paid on a salary basis; and

(3) are paid a salary not less than the prescribed minimum.
