Recent Developments in the FLSA White-Collar Exemption Arena (from Annual Employment Law Update 2025)

A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the May 2025 live seminar, 34^th Annual Employment Law Update.

The past two years have seen significant activity relating to the so-called “white-collar” exemptions—the federal minimum wage and overtime exemptions for executive, administrative, professional, computer, and outside sales employees—under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (the “FLSA”)2. In addition to rulemaking by the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”), the courts have been busy addressing important issues involving these exemptions, ranging from job duties to compensation to the very authority of DOL itself to regulate in this space. This presentation begins with a review of the background principles necessary for a working understanding of these exemptions and then proceeds to discuss the key recent developments.
