The June 17 ACE webcast
discussing the potential challenges campuses will face in implementing
the new Fair Labor Standards Act overtime pay regulation is now archived
and available for free viewing.
The new federal rule, which goes into effect Dec. 1, raises the
salary threshold to $47,476 from its current level of $23,660. As a
result, many lower level, salaried employees will become hourly workers
eligible for overtime pay. Among those workers likely to be impacted
are a wide array of non-faculty employees, including athletic coaches
and trainers, admissions recruiters and student affairs officers.
The 90-minute webcast featured a four-person panel of experts and
provided insights and context into the ramifications of the new overtime
rule for senior leaders from campus function areas such as human
resources, student affairs and business offices.
