Clarity from the Labor Department 

Clarity from the Labor Department

So, I'm trying to prepare a presentation on FLSA and the distinction between exempt and non-exempt employees, which led me to the Labor Department web site and an information page summarizing the proposed changes in overtime rules, where I came across this line:

Administrative duties - The proposal would replace the "discretion and independent judgement test," which has been the subject of confusion and litigation, with a new test that employees must hold a "position of responsibility."

Yeah. Of course. I can see why they would think "position of responsibility," being a phrase of such shining clarity, would be a source of so much less confusion and litigation.

Bozos!
