Free Webinar: The U.S. Department of Labor's New Rule on Overtime

Mike Zinser

SNPA is offering a free webinar on Thursday, July 14 (through Online Media Campus) to address the U.S. Department of Labor's new overtime rules, which go into effect Dec. 1.  The finalized rule increases the salary threshold necessary to be classified as exempt from overtime. When the final rule goes into effect, the salary threshold will more than double.

In this free webinar, Michael Zinser will educate you on the new rule, as well as how your company can manage its new requirements. The webinar will be held from 2-3 p.m. (EDT) and will be archived for those who can't join us at that time.

Zinser serves as a resource for SNPA's Legal Hotline and has recently addressed questions about potential exemptions under the new rule, which he will cover in further detail during this presentation. These include an exemption for small newspapers with circulation numbers under 4,000; a creative professional exemption for journalists and photographers; and a Section 13(d) exemption for district managers.

With more than 40 years of experience in labor and employment law and over 250 newspaper clients stretching geographically from Hawaii to New York, Zinser is uniquely qualified to help your company address this complex new legal development.
