Steps for Reclassifying Employees as Non-Exempt—For Reasons Other Than Salary With respect to exempt employees being reclassified for reasons other than salary level, employers might consider the same steps set forth above, though care should be taken in planning the messaging around the change. Employees will want to understand, at least at a high level, why they are being reclassified. One theme of the messaging could very well be that the business is responding to a complex, growing, and changing web of state and federal wage and hour laws and attempting to stay ahead of the curve. C.

You should consult with your Seyfarth counsel for advice on tailoring a process for your business and its unique philosophies, goals, constraints, and sensitivities.
