• Legal Briefings

In January, the Department of Labor issued two opinion letters that address whether an employer's plan to reduce the hours of exempt salaried employees, based on short-term business needs, affects the exempt status of those employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Employers are advised that any mandatory time off lasting less than a workweek may result in a change in the employee's FLSA-exempt status. In Metropolitan Gov't of Nashville & Davidson County v Petty, the employers are advised to review and become familiar with the statutory requirements of USERRA. Employers are further advised that if an employee satisfies these statutory requirements, he or she must be promptly reinstated to full employment.

The Department of Labor (the Department or DOL) proposes to revise the current Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA or the Act) regulations pertaining to the exemption for companionship services and live-in domestic services. Section 13(a)(15) of the FLSA exempts from its minimum wage and overtime provisions domestic service employees employed ``to provide companionship services for individuals who (because of age or infirmity) are unable to care for themselves (as such terms are defined and delimited by regulations of the Secretary).'' Section 13(b)(21) of the FLSA exempts from the overtime provision any employee employed ``in domestic service in a household and who resides in such household.''
