Does time spent answering emails or using a mobile phone for work outside of normal hours count towards overtime for non-exempt employees?
For nonexempt employees who respond to emails or calls outside of normal work hours on a regular basis, that time is counted as work time for overtime purposes. If a non-exempt employee responds to emails or calls briefly and very occasionally, then court cases have considered that to be de-minimis and therefore not counted for overtime purposes. However, supervisors have discretion to establish overtime approval processes.
Will the medical benefits change for employees who will become eligible for overtime?
Medical benefits for these employees will not be affected as a result of the FLSA change. Benefit contributions will be the same as before.
How will vacation and sick time accrual change for employees who will become eligible for overtime?
The FLSA change will not affect healthcare benefits for these employees. However, affected employees will only receive one paycheck in January. Benefit premiums are deducted twice a month. We are addressing this issue and will provide additional information on how missed deductions will be handled soon.

Does professional training differ for nonexempt employees based on whether it is voluntary or involuntary?
If an employee is required to attend training related to their job, the training is considered involuntary, and the employee must be paid for the time.
According to the Department of Labor, training is not work time if all four of the following criteria are met:
- Training is outside of working hours, and
- Training is voluntary, and
- Training is not directly related to the job, and
- The employee has no productive work during attendance.
If all four criteria are met, the training would be voluntary, and the employee would not be paid.
Can non-exempt employees still attend professional conferences?
Yes, however, you need to be aware of how the regulations define compensable time (those hours that must be counted towards 40 hours in the workweek). For more information regarding travel click here (PDF).
The employees in my unit are used to having flexibility in their work hours. Can this continue if some or all of them become non-exempt?
Yes. Flex scheduling is allowed within the same work week. As an example, lets say a typical schedule is 8 hours a day during the day, and the department needs an employee to work a special event for 4 hours during the evening. The schedule may be changed to give the employee 4 hours of time off at another time during the same work week.
