Attention Business Owners:

More than 2,000 comments have already been posted in response to the U.S. Labor Department’s proposals regarding the federal Fair Labor Standards Act’s Section 13(a)(1) exemptions. Under the proposed regulations, the overtime threshold could be as high as $970 per week ($50,440 annually) – a far cry from the current $455 per week ($23,660 per year).

Time is running out to comment or object. The deadline is September 4, 2015.

Attached here is an objection from the National Association of Women Business Owners. Do not wait for someone else to object on your behalf. These proposed regulations will impact your business.

Here is the link, if you would like to post a comment or objection.
