22. What should you be thinking about to make this happen by December 1?
Research/ Strategize
What should you be thinking about to make this happen by December 1?

23. Step One: Who Does this Impact?
Which employees are paid less than $913 per week?
Are bonuses offered?
For employees who do not work a full year but are paid a full year, DOL guidance allows for the yearly salary to be prorated over the weeks actually worked.

24. Step Two: What do the Impacted Employees Actually Do?
Remember, the consequence of reclassification is overtime payment.
Are these employees on call?
Do they regularly work outside of regular business hours?
Do they have an iPhone, respond to s, calls, texts, etc.?

25. Step Three: Consider Reorganization
Can any of the on-call responsibilities or extra responsibilities be shifted to another worker?
Would it be possible to give just a few employees raises to absorb the work shifted from other previously exempt workers?

26. Step Four: Decide an appropriate hourly Wage
Avoid reductions in pay
Salary may still be paid, as long as overtime is paid, according to federal and state law.

27. Step Five: Develop/Revise policy
All policies for non-exempt employees should state that the employees may not work over 40 hours per week without the approval of a supervisors.
Breaks of 30 minutes or more should be taken away from desk/work area
Remember: The consequence for violation should be discipline, not docking pay. Even unauthorized overtime is still overtime and must be compensated.

28. Policies should address tech devices
Which employees may telecommute?
How is time tracked?
What are the parameters for telecommuting?

29. Step Six: Communicate Decision to Impacted Employees
Employees should understand the reason for the change and know they are valued.

30. Step Six: Remind managers about overtime issues
Even the best policies, if violated without consequences, expose an organization to liability.
Remind managers that non-exempt employees may not ever work off the clock and discipline any manager who allows a non-exempt employee to work without reporting the time
Make sure it is clear to managers which employees are non-exempt (or will be non-exempt come December 1)

31. Step Seven: Implementation
Any FLSA status change or salary increase necessary for compliance must be implemented by the pay period that includes December 1, 2016.
Must be done for the full pay period

32. How can this be a good thing?
Change “on the line” exempt statues without drawing the DOL or employee’s attention.
Reorganize management for efficiency.
Reclassification will become more common.

33. Q & A What issues are you anticipating in your organization?
Do you know which employees will be impacted? Do you have a plan that was not already discussed?

34. Thank you for your Time!
Any questions that I didn’t answer? Let me know!
