Specifically, the FLSA governs overtime provisions, which ensure employees receive pay at a rate no less then time-and-a-half for all time worked in excess of 40 hours in a work week.  \nHow has the FLSA changed?  \nCurrently, the salary threshold for exemption status is $23,660 per year ($455 per week) . On September 24, 2019, the Department of Labor announced a final ruling to increase the salary threshold to $35,568 per year ($684 per week), effective January 1, 2020 . The threshold of $35,568 is only one element of the exemption test to determine the appropriate exemption status.  \nWhat is the impact to NMSU?  \n• There were about 368 possible impacted positions (Gr. 05 & 06) .  \n• Pay adjustment from on-time to lag pay will result in a delayed paycheck after conversion (e.g. Conversion January 1, next paycheck January 31) .  \n• Eligibility for OT for some positions.  \n• Employees will need to submit a timesheet each pay period accounting for the hours worked on a daily basis.  \nHRS is working with Administration and Finance to determine feasible options to address the lag pay.  \nMore information to come.  \nWhat’s the process for making the change?  \nOver the past month, HRS has reviewed the impacted positions:  \n• HRS reviewed positions in grade 06 and below.  \n• Application of the “FLSA exemption test” to each position.  \n• The most recent information provided in position classification actions and postings were reviewed to determine if the positions meet the exemption tests.  \nWhat is the FLSA exemption test?  \nCompletion of a questionnaire to determine the exemption status of a position (executive, professional, administrative, certain computer related jobs) . To qualify for an exemption, at minimum the following elements must apply:  \n􀀹Scope of the work: Example--The primary duties consist of performing office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer or the employer’s customers.  \n􀀹The work includes the exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance.  \n􀀹Is pay at least $35,568 per year ($684 weekly), effective Jan. 1, 2020?  \nEmployee impact of FLSA Changes  \n• Exempt vs Nonexempt-these terms refer to the eligibility to earn overtime. Compensation at an hourly rate does not define the job role. Professional staff can be compensated at an hourly rate of pay without a change to job duties or levels of authority and responsibility.  \n• Nonexempt employees are eligible to earn overtime  \n• Exempt employees are not eligible to earn overtime  \n• No changes in duties, responsibility or authority – the job duties and responsibilities will not change with a conversion to nonexempt. The change is to eligibility for overtime.  \n• Timesheet – employees will need to submit a timesheet each pay period accounting for the hours worked on a daily basis.  \nFurther Clarification….  \n• The change in FLSA exemption status is not an indicator of your professional status or decreases the importance and value of your work.  \n• Conversion to non-exempt is a matter of compliance. All jobs contribute to the institution’s success.  \n• Your roles and responsibilities may be further clarified by your supervisor.","cbCaiiv7LgGGgJz6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiv7LgGGgJz6","pdf",1031676,15,"English","# What is FLSA?\n# How has the FLSA changed?\n# What is the impact to NMSU?\n# What’s the process for making the change?\n# What is the FLSA exemption test?\n# Employee impact of FLSA Changes\n# Further Clarification","[{\"question\":\"What does the FLSA require regarding overtime pay?\",\"answer\":\"The FLSA is a federal law that governs overtime provisions.
