Recipients of federal financial assistance have several options to respond to the DOL's final rule on overtime. These may include: (1) increasing salaries for affected employees to meet the new salary threshold; (2) limiting employee hours to ensure they do not work more than 40 hours per week without overtime pay; (3) restructuring jobs or duties to qualify for exemptions from overtime requirements; and (4) requesting a variance from the DOL if compliance would cause significant economic hardship.

How does the Final Rule help workers who already are entitled to overtime - and their employers?
