As the next Compensation Manager with this organization, you will be relied upon to ensure that the organization is compliant with all Fair Labor Standards Act laws as they apply to employee wages. In asking this question, your interviewer is looking to hear that you have innate knowledge on the FLSA laws and how they apply to the organization that you work for. If you were impacted by more recent changes in the law, be sure to talk about those changes and what you had to do ensure your organization was compliant. If you weren't directly impacted, simply let your interviewer know that you are aware of the changes. To really seal the deal with your answer to this question, try to talk about how these changes may have impacted the organization that you are interviewing with.

"While not directly impacted by recent changes to the FLSA, I am fully aware of the change that made the minimum salary threshold for exempt staff to be over 35,000 per year. In my current role, a majority of our staff are non-exempt and the exempt management and leadership staff are well above that threshold. Were you impacted at all by this recent change? If so, how were things handled to be in compliance?"
