TThe Federal government was very busy this spring, issuing a flurry of laws that affect dealerships and dealership personnel. Among them: • The increased threshold salary of employees who are exempt from overtime because of the administrative, executive, professional exemption and the qualifications for that exemption. • Dealers must provide reasonable accommodations for a worker’s known limitations related to, affected by, or arising out of pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions and examples of those conditions. • Dealers’ requirement to file a notice with the FTC if a breach occurs of customer information of at least 500 customers. • FTC bans noncompetes as of Sept. 4, 2024, with all employees, including those senior executive employees. The key takeaway: Dealers must be proactive with compliance and ensure that employees are trained! Noncompliance can be costly.
