In a major win for the staffing industry, the U.S. Department of Labor recently published an opinion letter clarifying the Fair Labor Standards Act’s “retail or service establishment” overtime exemption. The letter, issued at the American Staffing Association’s request, affirms that the exemption can apply to staffing firms, a departure from the agency’s prior position that staffing firms categorically could not qualify for the exemption under any circumstance. In the latest issue of Staffing Success magazine, ASA senior vice president and chief legal and operating officer Stephen C. Dwyer looks at the history and implications of the DOL opinion.

As part of a global endeavor to help employees return safely to work amid the pandemic, ASA has launched the Safely Back to Work initiative to lead efforts in the U.S. The initiative and new website at americanstaffing.net/safelybacktowork is based on the association’s work with the World Employment Confederation, Adecco Group, ManpowerGroup, and Randstad NV.
The result is an online collection of safety-focused resources for employers and a high-profile pledge to the safety of all employees who are returning to job sites. ASA urges all of its members to download and use the free resources and take the pledge. Once you submit your pledge to safety, your name and company name will appear in a real-time leaderboard on the page. The Safely Back to Work site also provides a variety of graphics for use on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and ASA Central.
