    july'S Featured Webinar:

    The Sandwich Generation: Multi-Generational Caregiving
    Are you taking care of your children and your parents? Many middle-aged people find themselves caring for both ends of the age spectrum - helping both their children and their parents navigate finances, social lives and changes in capacity for independence. This kind of caretaking can cause burnout and exhaustion. This webinar will review the phenomenon of the sandwich generation and how we can better manage the needs of our changing families. We'll discuss ways to have productive conversations with aging parents about their needs, ways to troubleshoot burn out as a caregiver and how to keep your own family running smoothly.

    • Performance Evaluations

      The Office of Human Resources has implemented a new online employee performance evaluation system for Professional Administrative and Classified Staff. It is essential for you to learn about this new method of completing evaluations as it will replace the paper evaluation process for employees.   

      The Online Performance Evaluation workshop will introduce significant changes to the performance evaluation process. The evaluation documents will remain the same; however, the method of delivery and completion will now be online. You will utilize this system throughout this calendar year and beyond.

      Please see the Training Calendar for workshops available.

    • Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

      The Fair Labor Standars Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards affecting all United States employees in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments, including Higher Education. Employees are either “exempt from overtime” or “non-exempt from overtime” pay based on FLSA regulations. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) administers the FLSA regulations.  A final ruling was issued by the DOL to change the criteria that establishes whether employees are eligible for overtime pay. The final rule focuses primarily on updating the salary level needed for employees to be exempt from overtime. The duties test has not been changed.  Based on regulations from 2004, in order for employees to be exempt from overtime requirements, they had to meet certain job duties-related tests and be paid on a salary basis at a rate of at least $455 per week ($23,660 per year). The new FLSA rule has changed the salary threshold to $684 per week ($35,568 per year).
