May 21 is the deadline to submit comments on proposed rulemaking that would raise the salary threshold for certain white-collar workers to be exempt from minimum-wage and overtime-pay requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act.  However, potential federal rulemaking to revise existing requirements has been in the news since 2016, causing some confusion about the status of current rules, what changes could occur under proposed rules, when any changes would take effect, what effect these changes could have on state requirements and what any changes would mean for payroll departments. The current proposal, which was issued in March, could affect not only the white-collar salary threshold, but also certain pay requirements for highly compensated employees, and thresholds for U.S. territories and those working in the movie industry.
