On January 5, 2018, the Department of Labor (“DOL”) Wage and Hour Division re-issued 17 previously withdrawn DOL Opinion Letters addressing over a dozen topics under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The DOL originally issued these Opinion Letters in January of 2009 (at the end of former President Bush’s administration), but they were subsequently withdrawn after former President Obama took office. However, the “new” DOL is bringing the “old” DOL back, with a wave of clarity for employers across all industries.
