Overtime Pay: New Regulations and What Nonprofit Organizations Need to Know

Thursday, July 14, 2016, from 3-5 p.m. in Room # 92 of the JC Penney Conference Center on the UMSL north campus
Nonprofit organizations are not exempt from the laws that cover fair wages and compensation for employees.   As such, nonprofit organizations need to know about the new overtime regulations that were recently announced by the U.S. Labor Department, which go into effect on December 1, 2016.  The new regulations mean that more employees will be entitled to overtime compensation, regardless of whether they are currently classified as executive, administrative, or professional (white-collar) workers.
Come to this class to learn about (1) these new overtime regulations, (2) the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), (3) how to identify “exempt” vs. “nonexempt” employees, and (4) how all of this is handled by the U.S. Department of Labor.
