Fair Labor Standards Act: Changes in Overtime Elilgibility

FAQ's	For M&P employees eligible to join the Local 34 Bargaining Unit

In August of 2004, the U.S. Department of Labor finalized new regulations governing overtime eligibility for employees. These are the first significant changes to the regulations in nearly fifty years.

Beginning in the summer of 2004, the department of Human Resources conducted a review of M&P titles to ensure that positions continued to be appropriately and consistently defined in light of the new Department of Labor final regulations.

Working with the Office of the General Counsel and outside experts, Human Resources reviewed salaried managerial and professional positions in the entry-level grades in order to determine whether the employees in certain job titles should become eligible for overtime pay. The University has determined that most of those in the following job titles in the entry M&P salary grades will become salaried overtime-eligible effective July 1, 2006:

Title
Accountant 1	Alumni Affairs Officer 1
Administrative Associate 1	Assistant Audio Visual Producer
Clinical Practice Specialist 1	Grant Administrator 1
Coordinator 1	C&IS Support Specialist 1
Crew Rigger	C&IS Support Specialist 2
