• Is there a potential EPA (Equal Pay Act) discrimination issue?
• How should I communicate the New OT Rule to my employees? Should my current salaried exempt employee be clocking in/out?
• Can I reclassify my exempt employees as nonexempt now?
• Can I still pay a set salary although I reclassify them as nonexempt?
• Can I add a bonus as part of the compensation and comply with new OT rule?
• If I convert my salaried exempt employees to hourly non-exempt, what are the potential challenges my company will have to deal with?
