FLSA Mandate Compliance
Submitted for:	Victoria Dominguez	Submitted By:	Victoria Dominguez
Department:	Administrative Services

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize Budget Office to modify general orders for the positions listed (see attached), which are currently below the new standard salary level of $47,476.00, from an "exempt" status to "non-exempt" status in order to be in compliance with the new FLSA mandates set out by the Department of Labor by December 1, 2016, and any other matters incident thereto. Changes to the general orders will be made by the Budget Officers.

Issue: These positions are currently salaried positions but they fall under the Threshold set out in the mandates ($47,476.00).

Solution: Modify the classification of these slots to “Non-Exempt” and all Webb County hourly employees shall now be required to electronically register their work attendance on a daily basis, utilizing Day Prix, Bio Metric, and/or any other electronic approved method.

Result: Webb County will be in compliance with the new mandates.
