Panicked calls and emails are coming in to Creative Business Solutions regarding the new overtime rule proposed by the Obama administration. Bottom line: is it good or bad? the answer depends on your company's numbers. How many in your employee base are in an exempt (salaried) status? How many are making less than $50,400 per year? Once you see these numbers, and calculate the probability of additional overtime compensation you will be providing, you may have a positive or negative opinion of this proposed rule. Below are two links with more information:

"I have worked with HR Partners for over two (2) years in an advisory and legal capacity. The HR Partners Team has made themselves available with little notice when I’ve been in need of their expertise in an immediate situation.
They are available when I want to bounce an idea or will just listen when I need to work through a situation. They have assisted with phone screens, job descriptions, policies, unemployment, FMLA, HR audit, and so much more. They are very easy to work with and I have always felt they ‘really’ cared about assisting me and our organization. Their guidance has helped me grow personally in my knowledge which extends to being a better HR Professional for my employees and my company.
Thank you HR Partners!"
