Free webinar to address overtime law changes

Southern Newspaper Publishers Association 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 Kansas Press Association is a co-sponsor of the Online Media Campus.

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 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. (CDT) and will be archived for those who can’t join the webinar 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.

This is a special program offering and free of charge, but advance registration is required.
