Authorization to change the base pay of employees in order to conform to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and bringing all affected incumbents to the new required salary threshold status, effective the first payroll Monday following passage of Council. Effective January 1, 2020, the “standard salary level” for exempt employees is increasing from $455 per week ($23,660 per year) to $684 per week ($35,568 per year).

This has a 12-month future impact of a cost of $3,898.30. (L1196-19) (Maxwell/Hamilton)
