As communicated earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Labor announced changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) that will impact the rule on overtime pay. In light of the new regulations, the Office of Human Resources in collaboration with department supervisors and College leadership, has re-evaluated the exempt/non-exempt classification of affected staff positions. 

The New Overtime Rule

Recommendations for position classification changes and/or salary adjustments have been approved by President’s Council and department supervisors have been notified. Over the course of the next week, supervisors will be meeting with staff affected by the new regulations. 

The Office of Human Resources will be holding information sessions on Monday, October 31st at 2pm; Tuesday, November 1st at 2pm; and Thursday, November 3rd at 11am to answer questions and to address any concerns affected staff may have. These sessions will be held in the Peggy Ryan Williams Center, Human Resources Conference Room. 

Please feel free to contact Cindy Reckdenwald at (4-3850) or Maura Fetsko at (4-3483) if we can provide any additional information or answer any questions. 

Thank you.
