Event Synopsis:
2010 has seen a torrent of regulatory changes which have affected nearly all aspects of corporate life. What's more is that the Fed appears to be going beyond issuing new regulations and legislating by interpreting the existing regulations. One such area where this is apparent is in Labor Law. Recent Department of Labor (DOL) enforcement efforts have centered on new interpretations of the existing regulations vs. the new ones. Evidence of this can be seen in a recent Amicus brief filed by the DOL which said that pharmaceuticals companies misclassified some of their employees and owed them overtime retroactively. These types of interpretations and subsequent enforcement actions could have big ramifications for all companies.
