Since the new Department of Labor (DOL) overtime white-collar exemption regulations went into effect on August 23, 2004, prudent employers are re-evaluating the exempt status of their employees. Corporate legal counsel and human resources executives are working to comply with the new regulations and facing challenges in communicating exempt status changes effectively to managers and employees.

Are you looking for a roadmap through this process? If you are unclear about what you really need to do, you are not alone.
