CFMA - Valley of the Sun

CFMA has been providing a Financial Benchmarker service offering to its member since 1989.  Over the past few years, respondent input levels had shown signs of some decline.  Efforts to address this have resulted in a streamlining of the data submission process and acceleration of the collection period to allow survey results to be available to users earlier than in the past.   In many ways, the benefit one receives from his / her CFMA experiences is directly tied to the level of one’s involvement and the Financial Benchmarker can be an excellent tool to help develop industry specific skills in serving the needs of one’s company and / or clients and thereby enhancing the value proposition of CFMA membership.

Today, President Barack Obama and Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez announced the publication of the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Final Rule modifying the white-collar exemptions and overtime regulations, which the DOL claims will extend overtime pay to more than 4 million workers within the first year of implementation.

The DOL’s proposed rule, which appeared in the Federal Register on July 6, 2015 ( 80 FR 38515 ), originally called for the minimum salary for exempt employees to be set at $970 per week or $50,440 annually.
