Re: Update on Federal Overtime Regulations
Last week, I shared news with you that the U.S. Department of Labor has announced changes to regulations for paying overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act. I would like to follow up on my initial message and share more information about the changes and their impact on our University and our employees.
The new regulations mean that most employees paid less than $47,476 a year will become non-exempt Dec. 1, 2016. They will receive overtime pay or paid time off (comp time) for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek. Compliance with the new regulations may also involve adjustments to work schedules, time recording and annual leave accrual and carry-over rates. Benefits such as sick leave, retirement, insurance, educational assistance and longevity pay are not impacted by these changes.
