Are you paying your exempt employees at least $50,440/year?
Starting in 2016, you may have to in order to maintain their exempt status. And
that’s not all…
In mid-September, OACAA hosted a one-day Human Resources /
Fiscal Conference at the Crowne Plaza in Dublin for over sixty Community Action
professionals across the state. Scott Warrick, who specializes in human
resources and employment law and training, entertained a mix of Community
Action management, human resources, and fiscal staff as he guided us through
recent and upcoming changes to the employment laws. Just some of the morning
topics included were: off-duty duties, 50-hour exempt agreement, various legal
case reviews, and employees' rights to organize.
After lunch, Scott covered FMLA, ADA, and Workers
Compensation similarities and differences, how they work and recent changes.
Discussions included eligibility for FMLA, the importance of written essential
functions in your job descriptions and much more.
Handouts were provided to attendees and can be made
available to other OACAA members if requested. Please contact GregBollenbacher, Fiscal Director, for more information. Or, to learn more about
the conference’s speaker, visit his website at www.scottwarrick.com, where you
