Did You Know.... Overtime Rules Change December 1
Starting December 1, the Department of Labor's overtime rules will change, and all employees making less than $47,476 will be eligible for overtime (with a few exceptions that include doctors, lawyers and teachers).Since many nonprofit employees work more than 40 hours per week, the new regulations could have a significant impact on your operations.
What Employers Can Do Now to Prepare for December 1, 2016:
Identify all impacted employees that fall within the gap between the current and new threshold (current limit-$23,660/new limit $47,476).
Make sure you know how many hours per week the impacted employees work.
Determine how you will deal with currently exempt employees whose salaries are lower than the new threshold.
-Raise salaries?
-Pay overtime?
-Limit employees' hours to 40/week?
4. Will you need to alter your staffing structure?
5.
Get updated on activities designated as "work time" such as calling, texting or emailing after hours, and make sure you have record keeping requirements in place.
