In late Spring, the US department of Labor (DOL) released their final rule, updating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)’s overtime pay requirements. The rule increased the minimum salary threshold to $43,888 on July 1, 2024, and will increase the threshold to $58,656 on January 1, 2025. While many expect legal challenges will delay implementation of this ruling, departments are still asked to prepare for compliance.

Come ready to share your ideas, adaptive strategies, concerns, and questions with your network as we consider how campus recreation can best navigate changing regulations now and in the future.
