EMPLOYMENT LAW UPDATES New Minimum Salaries for Exempt EmployeesUnder the Fair Labor Standards Act (SLFA), employees with sufficiently high salaries are categorized as “exempt,” meaning they are not entitled to overtime pay.

It's that time of year again! Don’t forget to file your nonprofit organization’s “annual information return,” or Form 990. All tax-exempt organizations (including 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, and 501(c)(6)s) must file a version of the Form 990 with the IRS.
