For this assignment, you will be researching the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
For the first section of your paper:
1. Assess the main features of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
2. Compare the definitions of exempt and nonexempt employees.
3. Evaluate at least three criteria that differentiate an exempt and nonexempt employee.
In spring 2014, then-President Obama sent a memo to the US Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary directing reform of FLSA to address white-collar exemptions and, effectively, increase the number of employees entitled to overtime pay. Some changes have been approved and became effective as of December 2016. Research some of the revisions the DOL adopted such as an increase in minimum salary
requirements and changes to the current “primary duty” test.
For the second section of your paper:
Analyze some of the controversies and objections associated with these modifications. Explain and justify your view–do these changes
benefit employees or the employer? Do you prefer the previous FLSA law or the changes?
