Overtime pay is a fundamental element of labor law, ensuring that employees are fairly compensated when they work beyond their standard 40 hours a week. It’s designed to protect workers from overwork and to encourage employers to hire additional staff if needed rather than relying on excessive hours from existing employees.
Starting in 2024, the Department of Labor (DOL) is implementing significant updates to the overtime rule, potentially impacting millions of employees and the businesses that employ them.
Maintaining a registered agent in every state where you’re registered with the Secretary of State is a key compliance requirement—and to avoid fines or other penalties against your business, each agent needs to be able to reliably receive and forward correspondence.
If one of your registered agents can’t perform these functions (or if your business needs change), your business can change registered agents by filing a statement with the relevant Secretary of State.
