Williamson County CEO Conversations: Discussing the New Overtime Law
Back by popular demand!

CEO Network Series
The Fair Labor Standards Act provisions on overtime have always been a challenge for employers to understand. Then last year, the United States Department of Labor further complicated things by announcing a proposed rule that will dramatically change the overtime law, making it much harder for employers to exempt employees. After months of commentary, earlier this month the DOL announce the Final Rule that will go into effect December 1, 2016. On that day, 4.5 million more workers will go to work newly eligible to receive overtime benefits. For employers, including nonprofit organizations, it is critical to understand the new rule and to determine ahead of time if any of your employees will be affected.
Attorney Todd McKee will lead you through the new overtime rule, as well as review the Department of Labor's new guidance specifically for nonprofits. For the first time, the guidance clarifies the gray area that has existed for decades regarding to the applicability of the FLSA to nonprofits. At the end of the session, you should be able to understand:
- whether your organization falls under the FLSA and needs to worry about paying overtime
- what the changes are to the new overtime rule
- how to identify employees who are affected by the new rule and how to properly classify their employment
- how to develop strategies to minimize the impact of the new overtime law on your budget
- how to correctly complete job descriptions and why doing so is essential for protecting your organization
- how to avoid the common pitfalls of overtime, such as comp time and volunteering
