Emory Prepares to Implement New FLSA Regulations
In May 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor announced changes to overtime regulations in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), raising the salary threshold required to qualify for exemption from overtime to $47,476 per year, an increase from $23,660 per year. As a result of the revised federal law, a number of staff positions at Emory University will transition from exempt (monthly paid) to non-exempt (biweekly paid/overtime eligible). To prepare for the changes, the Human Resources division has been working closely with HR leaders from across the campus to identify exactly which University positions will make this transition.

Workshop: Understanding the Cost and Value of Paying for Long Term Care: The Importance of Being Prepared
The options for paying for long-term care are limited. Did you know that Medicare will not pay for home care or assisted living facility care? Do you know what Medicaid provides? Most families do not realize their limited options until they are in a crisis — usually when their loved one is about to be discharged from a hospital. This workshop is intended to provide information prior to a crisis. Miles Hurley, Elder Law Attorney, will lead a discussion centered on the importance of legal documents and will help individuals learn how to best locate and pay for good long-term care. October 27, 2016, 12:00 pm -1:30 pm, Emory University Hospital, Main Lobby Auditorium. To register, click here. |
