The US Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division announced the publication of a technical amendment to restore the applicable regulations governing the exemption of executive, administrative, and professional employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The Department’s technical amendment removes from the Code of Federal Regulations the regulatory language from a 2024 rule that was judicially vacated, and republishes the operative regulations, which were established in a rule the department issued in 2019. The restored regulations require that most exempt executive, administrative, and professional employees be paid a salary of at least $684 per week. The regulations also set a total annual compensation threshold of $107,432 for certain highly compensated employees. This technical amendment is effective immediately upon publication in the Federal Register.
