Payroll Change for Non-Exempt Employees

Recent changes in the Fair Labor Standards Act have led many employers, including Johnson C. Smith University, to review the classification of jobs as it relates to eligibility for overtime. To ensure campus-wide compliance with the revised regulations, all non-exempt employees will be paid bi-weekly effective March 1, 2005. In an effort to provide both employees and supervisors with accurate and timely information, a mandatory meeting will be conducted from 9 until 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in the Jane M. Smith Memorial Church.
