HRM300 University of Phoenix Salary Threshold Legislation Paper ***** This was the assignment given. Please see attached a partially completed assignment. I only need the conclusion to this paper written and added in where it says Christine. In about 250 words.

FLSA – On December 1st, the federal annual salary threshold for employees exempt from overtime pay doubled, increasing to $47,476 from $23,660. Employees who make less than the threshold must be paid time-and-a-half for any hours worked beyond the 40-hour work week. Many employers will not be able to increase salaried employees’ pay to the new higher amount so those employees will become nonexempt.

Answer each one of the following questions in 200 to 250 words:

How can employers deal with employees that may feel hurt and underappreciated when they are switched to non-exempt?
What will the recruiting challenges be?
What will the work-life balance challenges be (telecommuting, flexibility)? Running head: SALARY THRESHOLD LEGISLATION

Salary Threshold Legislation Introduction
When threshold legislation happens it is hard to manage with all the changes and all the
outcomes it may bring. Some employees will benefit from it but the ones whom meet the
threshold of $47,476 are going to be the ones who are affected. Employers will definitely be
affected if associates feel they are being underappreciated and that can cause a lot of controversy.
Employees will know they deserve better and it can cause companies to lose their valuable
associates and can have a big impact on their business. This would be the perfect time for an
employer to give to those employees who are being affected. Better benefits, hours, and showing
appreciation to them can go a long way, and can definitely make a difference. It is important to
have employees happy in their workplace, it has been proven that if an associate is happy and
feel values at work they are more likely to preform better, and if this will affect associates then
something needs to give back to them.

What will recruiting challenges be?
Some of the recruiting challenges HR teams will face include impact to internal
employees who will experience changes based on open internal positions, reclassifying existing
positions, modifying current job descriptions, modifying current job postings, and what is the
financial impact to the organization that may change overall staffing needs. The FLSA rule
change will have a big impact on restaurants, call centers, and retail organizations where
employees in lower leadership positions work more than 40 hours per week. In these operations
employees making less than $47,476 will not get paid at overtime rates for worked hours over 40
each week. Many employers may not have the budget to manage this and could cause loss of
business, loss of jobs, and if the company goes out of business the recruiters jobs will also be
lost. Human Resources teams such as compensation, benefits, and training will also be impacted
by the overtime rule changes as they will need to reforecast and possibly change compensation
pay bands, employee benefits, cost of benefits, and how often training classes will be held based
on how the FSLA overtime changes impact their revenue. If benefits change to either reduce or
get eliminated this could have a negative effect on recruiters ability to attract the best talent in
the job market. Lastly, many job seekers see leadership positions as a salary position and may
view the hourly rate as not a true leadership position. However, for some the thought of making
overtime pay if they put in more than 40 hours per week could also be seen as a positive for
those looking to make more money when overtime is available.
