    Presenting:

    Are You Ready? 2021 Changes to the WA Exempt Salary Threshold

    Summary: 

    Washington State recently updated its exempt status rules that determine which workers must
    be paid overtime. The new rules affect every employer in Washington State. On January 1, 2021, the minimum salary threshold for exempt employees will increase to $43,004 for organizations with 50 or fewer employees. For organizations with 51 or more employees, the minimum salary
    threshold will be $50,180. Attendees of this presentation will leave with a clearer understanding of the impact of these changes, and how to prepare for them.

      Learning Objectives:

      Participants will be able to:

      • Attendees will understand the changes to the Washington State overtime rules.
      • Attendees will understand the implications for their organization.
      • Attendees will understand how to evaluate their current practices to determine the financial impact of the updated rules.
      • Attendees will understand what they must do to prepare to implement the updated rules by January 2021.

      Take Away: Attendees will be given the updated job duties tests for use in determining the financial and legal changes needed in their organization to comply with the new rules.

      Content: The required changes will be discussed from a compliance and financial perspective. With this information, attendees will have a clear understanding of what to do to prepare for the January 1, 2021 deadline, and how it will impact their organization.
