🚨 HR Leaders - Brace for Impact! 🚨 On April 23, 2024, the DOL announced a final OT rule, which will take effect on July 1, 2024. In summary, the final rule updates and revises the regulations issued under section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA implementing the exemption from minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for executive, administrative, and professional (EAP) employees. 🔎 Highlights: New Salary Thresholds: The minimum salary for most overtime-exempt employees is set to increase from $35,568 to $43,888, effective July 1. This will rise further to $58,656, effective January 1. New HCE Thresholds: The minimum highly compensated employee total annual compensation threshold is set to increase from $107,432 to $132,964, effective July 1. This will rise further to $151,164, effective January 1. Who's Affected? Businesses employing white-collar workers currently exempt from overtime who earn under $58,656 will need to make significant decisions, and quickly! 📈 Industry Impact: The Department of Labor identifies the professional and technical services, non-hospital health care services, and retail trade as the sectors most impacted by this change. And will affect roughly 4 million workers in the first year of implementation and will be broken into two checkpoints. The first will be on July 1, with an impact on 1 million workers, and another on Jan. 1, 2025, affecting 3 million workers. 👥 HR Professionals: This adjustment requires strategic consideration, proactive communication and training to manage transitions effectively. Consider the broader implications such as pay equity and benefits adjustments in your strategic planning. Employers will need to consider increasing salaries to maintain the exemption or reclassifying employees as nonexempt. Each option comes with its own set of challenges and considerations. As a reminder, in order for an exemption to apply, an employee’s specific job duties and salary must meet ALL the requirements of the Department’s regulations. 💡 Plan Ahead: Now is the time to evaluate your workforce, budget for potential salary adjustments, and update your payroll/HRIS systems. Don’t sleep on this new rule! 🔗 Need Help? We’ve got you!

As always, great work from SHRM: "....employee fulfillment is derived from fundamental psychological needs that include: Community, connection, and belonging. A sense of purpose. Personal growth and demonstration of mastery. Flexibility and autonomy over the way work is done. “Disengagement is felt strongest among employees who don’t perceive they have the level of flexibility and autonomy in their work that they want and people who are expecting more than just a transactional relationship with their organization,” she said. Gallup found that the drop in employee engagement was most pronounced in: Employees under age 35, particularly from Generation Z. Employees who could do their jobs remotely but who work exclusively onsite. Employees who are fully remote. #celebrations #EmployeeBenefits #EmployeeEngagement #EmployeeSafety #EqualPayDay #ERGs #GreatResignation #HiringBias #HRPolicies #Inclusion #investing #juneteenth #PsychologicalSafety #RacialEquity #TalentManagement #webinar #Women #DEI, #Equity #inclusion #training, #assessments #justice #Antiracism #communications #strategy #ROI #DEIroadmap Employee Engagement Falls to Lowest Point in Over a Decade

🎬 In this clip from the upcoming episode of HR, We Have a Problem guest Suzanne Lucas, also known as “Evil HR Lady”, addresses the long-standing negative attitudes toward HR, emphasizing how these perceptions often arise from employees' limited and typically negative interactions with HR. While many have had frustrating experiences with the recruitment process, there’s a real opportunity for HR to shift this narrative. Suzanne also underscores the importance of recognizing that both HR professionals and recruiters are part of the same people team, and their actions today can impact the workplace far into the future. 🔔 Subscribe today to be notified when new episodes air! https://lnkd.in/gxidSAET #SapientInsights #HRtech #HRtools #AIinHR
