In Episode 11 of The Akerman Angle, hosts Jeff Kimmel and Damien DeLaney, Co-Chairs of Akerman’s Wage and Hour Practice, dive into what employers can expect under the "Trump 2.0" administration. They discuss the future of ongoing litigation surrounding the Biden era increases in salary thresholds for overtime exempt employees, the tip credit minimum wage, independent contractor classification, and how the Department of Labor’s focus may shift under the new administration. The episode also touches on elements of Project 2025 that may impact wage and hour laws.
