U.S. Labor Department Publishes New Guidance on Fair Labor Standards Act Issues

The U.S. Department of Labor has published new opinion letters that address compliance issues related to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The opinion letters issued on Monday include:

• Addressing the calculation of overtime pay for non-discretionary bonuses paid on a quarterly and annual basis.
