The U.S. Department of Labor’s
Wage and Hour Division revised 29 CFR part 541, defining the scope
of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) §13(a)(1
exemptions. FLSA §13(a)(1) provides and exemption
from minimum wage and overtime pay “any
employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative,
professional, or in the capacity of outside salesman”.
These exemptions are often referred to as the
“white collar” exemptions.
The regulation will:
- Up-date salary levels used in determining
exemption to $425 per week.
- Revise the duties test used to determine
exemption
To see a complete full-text copy of DOL’s
regulations go to www.dol.gov/esa/regs/fedreg/proposed/2003007449.pdf
The regulation has no effect on FLSA Section
13(a)(3) Exemption for Seasonal Amusement or Recreational
Establishments under the Fair Labor Standards
Act. For more information about this exemption,
visit the Department
of Labor
How this effects camps:
- Exempt staff must be paid a base salary of
$425 per week
- Board and lodging can not be added to the
base salary
