Exempt Employee: Minimum Salary Requirements for 2023

The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that employers pay most employees at least the federal minimum wage for each hour worked as well as overtime pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek. Here are some key things to know for both federal exemptions and state exemptions, along with some state-specific changes for 2023.

New feature launch: Marsh COI Portal enhancement ensures an efficient renewal term

This year, we’re excited to introduce an easier way to access, update and manage your Workers’ Compensation Certificates of Insurance. This useful new feature in the Marsh COI Portal lets you review data for the current policy period, make changes to certificates and download individual or multiple certificates at a time. Even better, this enhancement improves account visibility, so you can ensure COIs have the most accurate info for the upcoming March 1–17 review and renewal period.

OSHA compliance reminder: Certain employers must electronically submit their 2022 OSHA Form 300A (Summary of work-related injuries and illnesses) by March 2, 2023.

Last month we published an article reminding you to post your OSHA Form 300A in the workplace from February 1 through April 30, 2023. Some employers are also required to electronically submit the information from their 2022 OSHA Form 300A via the OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA). This year OSHA provided a new tool , the ITA Coverage Application to help employers determine if they are covered by the regulation. OSHA also updated the ITA for enhanced data security. Read the information from OSHA below for more details and please reach out to your ADP TotalSource Risk & Safety Consultant if you need additional assistance.
