Overtime-What Is the Department of Labor’s New Proposed Rule Regarding Overtime Compensation? Right now, if you’re employing anyone who’s salaried and not supervising someone and that person is making more than $35,000 a year, you don’t have to pay that person overtime. The Department of Labor is looking to change that and raise that salary limit up to $55,000 a year. This means, anyone considered a non-exempt employee, that doesn’t supervise others and is on salary can be making $55,000 a year.

Meet Dr. Emily Chen!
I built Kindred Dentistry to practice dentistry the way that I want – where I can put my patients first, and their care quality is never sacrificed. My goal is to make sure my patients are heard so that I can provide hyper-precise care while also building long-lasting relationships.
Get To Know Dr. Emily Chen:
Growing up in Texas, Dr. Emily Chen spent many after school afternoons at the local dental office where her mother worked as a Registered Dental Assistant. The compassionate care her mother provided to her patients for over 20 years inspired Dr. Chen to combine her love for art and working with her hands with helping others in the field of dentistry.
Dr. Chen earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA in 2019, where she also received her Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Minor in Natural Sciences in 2014.
Dr. Chen is an active member of several professional organizations, including the ADA, CDA, LADS, and the Chinese American Dental Society of Southern California. Dr. Chen has also made contributions to the field of dentistry through her publications in the International Journal of Dentistry and PeerJ.
When she’s not crafting smiles, you can find Dr. Chen boxing and kicking butt at the gym, trying new restaurants and cooking new foods, traveling or rocking out at a concert. She’s also a devoted animal lover who enjoys spending time with her cat, Oliver, and is adored by her pup nephew, Gopher.
Dr. Chen provides care in both Mandarin and English.
The iconic Red Kettle campaign began many years ago in 1891 in San Francisco to raise money to provide Christmas dinner to those in need. This tradition has now become one of The Salvation Army’s main fundraisers allowing them to provide services year-round. Some of these services include food for low-income and homeless individuals and families, backpacks for students in need, Thanksgiving & Christmas meals, toys for children of families in need at Christmas, and much more.
