Labor may allow OT exemption for commissioned loan officers

The Department of Labor has published a final rule at 85 FR 29867 in the May 19, 2020, Federal Register withdrawing the "partial list of establishments" with "no retail concept" and the "partial list of establishments" that "may be recognized as retail" for the purposes of determining whether a business may qualify for an exemption from the Fair Labor Standards Act's overtime compensation requirement for certain commissioned employees employed by a retail or service establishment.

The elimination of the lists from Labor's regulations at 29 CFR 779 will promote consistent treatment when evaluating exemption claims by treating all businesses equally under the same standards. Banking and mortgage lending trade representatives have claimed the two lists have prevented mortgage lenders from applying for exemptions from the overtime requirement for mortgage loan officers who may earn more than half their income from commissions.
