Once you have a salaried employee classified as exempt from overtime, you don't want to un-do it and make a mistake which turns that exempt salaried employee into a non-exempt worker. Employers make mistakes which undermine the status and cause liability for the employer.
The Department of Labor changed the rules for salaried-exempt employees and then put them on hold. Employers made major efforts to examine, adjust and properly classify exempt positions. Then some revised and changed back again, or are still in flux.
HOWEVER, that is just the starting point. The major liability comes after having properly established a position as salaried, and then losing the exemption by careless practices or unwitting treatment of those positions. Improper deductions, salary alterations, time off, discipline and more can result in loss of the salaried-exemption for one person, or for all your salaried positions, and cause millions in liability. The Fair Labor Standards Act can impose that liability not just on the organization, but personally against the assets of supervisors, HR managers, CFOs, CEOs, and board members.
Focusing on only the salary basis requirements can be a big mistake. One must also preserve and protect the salaried status once it has been properly established.
