Eleventh Circuit Reinforces Fluctuating Workweek method of Paying Overtime
By Jeffrey D. Mokotoff
The federal Department of Labor (DOL) has long interpreted the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to allow an employer to pay a nonexempt employee a fixed salary for all hours worked in a workweek and “half-time” of an employee’s regular rate for all hours worked greater than forty in a workweek, instead of “time-and-a-half” pay for those hours. This method of pay — called the “fluctuating workweek method” — may be used when a nonexempt employee’s weekly hours vary. Read More
Managers Have Bigger Impact on Employee Mental Health than Therapists
By Eve Glicksman
A new report by the Workforce Institute at UKG found that managers have a greater influence on employee mental health than therapists or doctors, and an equal influence to spouses and partners. That may be surprising until you consider that 60 percent of the employees surveyed said their job was the most significant factor in their mental health. The survey included 2,200 employees and 1,200 leaders in 10 countries. Read More

Villyge Supports the “Whole Person”
SHRM’s recent State of HR emphasizes how much people leaders are operating beyond their capacity. Across industries, pressure is mounting to manage talent more effectively and push productivity forward, while administrative burdens continue to rise. In the new era of work, HR is forced to play counselor, coach, and sounding board to employees and managers alike, without the requisite know-how (or psych degree!). Organizations must employ tools to lighten HR’s load. Read more about how Villyge does just that…

Podcast: Leveraging Apprenticeships to Get Great Employees
Hiring and talent acquisition is so often premised on a “hurry up and wait” passivity: You announce a position, cross your fingers, and hope qualified applicants come to you. But what if they just don’t? If so, apprenticeships are another route that allow you develop your own talent, rather than waiting for it to arrive. In this episode of Honest HR, host Monique Akanbi speaks with Mary Wright, Manager of the SHRM Foundation’s Apprenticeship Program on how apprenticeships can help to sidestep the war for talent, and how the SHRM Foundation’s HR Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) has created a path for HR departments to develop their own superstar HR professionals.
