DOL developed a new elaws Advisor to help employers and employees
understand the revised overtime and minimum wage exemption rules
that went into effect August 23, 2004. The
elaws FLSA Overtime Security Advisor
assists individuals and businesses in determining exempt versus
non-exempt status for a particular employee by asking questions
about his or her primary job responsibilities and compensation.
Then, based on the user's responses, the system makes a determination
as to whether or not that employee is likely to be exempt from FLSA's
minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. Different sections of the
Advisor address each of the five categories of employees affected by
the new rules-professional, administrative, executive and outside sales
employees, and those in certain computer-related occupations.
A new elaws Advisor helps Federal contractors and subcontractors
understand basic coverage and compliance requirements for the equal
employment opportunity laws administered by DOL's Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). To assist Federal contractors
and subcontractors in determining their rights and responsibilities
under OFCCP laws, the Federal Contractor Compliance Advisor asks a series
of simple questions about the number of people they employ, the nature
of their industry or enterprise and the type and size of their federal
contract or subcontract. Then, based on the user's responses, the
Advisor generates a customized list of OFCCP equal employment opportunity
laws and regulations that likely apply to their business and provides
links to relevant compliance assistance materials.
