Instructions
Upon completion of the Required Readings, write a thorough, well-planned narrative answer to each of the following discussion questions. Rely on your Required Readings and the Lecture and Research Update for specific information to answer each discussion question, but turn to your original thoughts when asked to apply, evaluate, analyze, or synthesize the information. Your Discussion Question responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct, and formatted in the same fashion as the questions themselves. You must appropriately cite all resources used in your responses and document in a bibliography using APA style.
With this in mind:
The Assignment: You are the owner of a small chain of hotels, and you are concerned about the United States Department of Labor’s (DOL) new rules under the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. In order to be eligible for one of the white-collar exemptions to the overtime rules, you must pay an employee a minimum weekly salary of $455 per week, or $23,660 per year, whereas the previous threshold was $250 per week. Employees making less than $455 per week generally cannot be exempt. This will cost you money either in overtime pay or higher salaries. Can you challenge this new DOL rule? How would you go about challenging it? (26 points) (A 1-page response is required.)
