ALEXANDRIA, Va – SHRM Chief of Staff and Head of Public Affairs, Emily M. Dickens, released the following statement on the DOL proposed rule on overtime.
“As we celebrate our 75th year, the cornerstone of our advocacy is modernization of workforce policies. Modernization must be reasonable, flexible and provide some certainty to HR professionals who oversee compliance of these rules. We are pleased to see that the proposed revisions have adopted a single standard that includes all 50 states and U.S. territories (except for American Samoa).
We hope that following a robust public comment period, reasonableness, flexibility and certainty will guide other facets of the rule still needing improvement, including the salary threshold and automated updates. We’re excited to share the input of our members who can provide real-life examples of the needs of today’s workforce, including industry, geographic and small employer considerations.”
