Title: ●Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales and Computer Employees 
Abstract:

Regulations at 29 CFR part 541 define and delimit the exemption of executive, administrative, and professional (EAP) employees under section 13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). On April 26, 2024, the Department issued a final rule to increase certain earnings thresholds in the Part 541 regulations. See 89 FR 32842. However, the 2024 rule was subsequently vacated and the Department is applying the earnings thresholds set in its 2019 rule. The Department is currently reviewing the 2024 rule and determining how to proceed.
