Despite significant lobbying by business groups and employers against the proposed regulations, there is every indication that the DOL intends to proceed with the increased salary threshold amount. For employers who have been anticipating the increase, this delay gives employers even more time to prepare. For those employers who are not aware of the impending changes, or who have been lackadaisical in their preparation, the extension provides them with additional time to plan for how the changes may impact their businesses. That being said, once the DOL promulgates the final rule, employers will still have approximately 60 days before they must comply. It is best to be prepared before then.
