March 14, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor took the final step before issuing its new overtime rule -- "Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales and Computer Employees." Review can take up to 90 days. While the substance of the rule is not public, there are many things institutions can and should be doing now to prepare for its publication.

This webinar will focus on developing a team approach involving legal counsel, human resource professionals and other key personnel that will allow your institution to be ready when the rule is published.

Topics will include:  

• A summary of the proposed regulations
• Building your team and your plan
• Considerations and implications of the new exemption standards – legal and human resource perspectives
• Application to specific higher education positions
• Where have we been and where are we going – the politics of the rule and the process
