Many nonprofits may have questions about the application of the U.S. Department of Labor and Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry overtime rules, including updates effective July 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025 – and just recently, a court order just issued by a federal judge in Texas on Friday, November 15. These rules are complex and nuanced, and the consequences of noncompliance can be serious.

This session will cover the general rules (including recent updates and how those might be changing) and also help you understand what exceptions may apply for your nonprofit and what pitfalls to watch out for, and to know when you’ll need to seek legal advice to keep your organization in compliance.

Takeaways:

• What factors determine whether an employee is exempt or not exempt from the overtime rules. 
• Common missteps to avoid.
• How to spot circumstances where your nonprofit should seek legal guidance.
• What rules were going apply and what rules may now apply in 2025.

Why Attend? If your nonprofit has employees or think it may one day have employees, this session is a must!
