    • Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

      The Fair Labor Standards 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).

    • Records Management

      As a reminder to all employees, Youngstown State University is a public institution of higher education created under the laws of the state of Ohio and therefore, is subject to the sunshine laws.  The sunshine laws are a set of two statues that regulate how YSU handles its written documentation and meetings of its public body, the Board of Trustees.  The Public Records Law (Ohio Revised Code Section 149.43) and the Open Meetings Law (Ohio Revised Code Section 121.22) require that most, if not all, documentation and meetings be accessible to the public.  There are exceptions, of course; most notably for YSU is the student records exception described under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.  However, most written records, including e-mail, that serve to document the activities of YSU are public records and therefore subject to the public disclosure.  Similarly, discussions by YSU Board of Trustees where public business is discussed are also generally open to the public. 

      The University has adopted two policies that implement the Public Records Law.  University policy 3356-9-07 Public Records, sets for the procedures the University follows in adhering to the public records law, including how to respond to a public records request, and University policy 3356-9-09 Records Management, describes the methods employed by the university in maintaining, preserving, and disposing of its records. 

      All employees should review and understand how these policies affect their jobs at YSU.  Any questions can be directed to the Office of General Counsel at 330-941-2340.
