While there is considerable speculation that the incoming Trump Administration will make changes to workplace compliance policy implemented during the Obama Administration, it is unclear as to what those changes will be.  In the meantime, there are three Obama initiatives still scheduled to take effect before the new president takes office on January 20, 2017.

Accordingly, we wanted to provide a reminder that, whether or not there ultimately may be revisions to these initiatives, covered employers will be expected to be in compliance with the following regulations, unless changes are made:

  • Revisions to the “white-collar” overtime regulations;
  • Regulations implementing the paid sick leave Executive Order (E.O.); and
  • Regulations implementing the paycheck transparency provisions of the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces, or “blacklisting,” E.O.
