<prompt> Human: A few days ago, I received an email form the HR people at my work stating that my employee status was reclassified as a NON-EXEMPT. I am now required to fill out a timesheet and my pay frequency changed from semi-monthly to bi-weekly. I have been working at this company for about a year and have been salaried 45kyear the entire time until this notification from HR.Could someone please give me some insight on what this change means? The reason that my HR department cited for this change was The Department of Labor has changed some of requirements for an employee to be considered an EXEMPT employee. Any helpadviceexplanation would be really helpful as I dont quite understand what this change implies, thank you!
