DOL's New Overtime Pay/Exempt Employee Rules

This is the topic every financial institution is talking about!

Virtually every community bank will be impacted.
 
The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division published the final rule revising regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act.  This implements the exemption from minimum wage and overtime pay for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and IT employees.  The new rules become effective December 1, 2016.
 
We're excited to announce the addition of the two webinars listed below.  These trainings will address the effect of these new rules and help you in planning, budgeting, and determining the available alternatives for employees who will no longer qualify as exempt from overtime pay.  The webinars will be presented by attorney and CPA, Elizabeth Fast, one of our most popular - and exclusive - speakers!
 
Will you be in compliance by the December 1 deadline?

Midwest Bankers Day

An Event for Community Bankers
July 27, 2016


presented by

Nebraska Independent Community Bankers and ICBA Securities are co-sponsoring a day-long conference exclusively for Midwest community banks in July.  NICB and ICBA Securities, the endorsed broker/dealer of NICB, and others will make presentations at the Iron Horse Golf Club in Ashland, NE on Wednesday, July 27.
 
With interest rates still compressed by a variety of domestic and global issues, community banks are increasingly turning their attention to non-traditional sources of earnings.  These include secondary loan programs, liquidity strategies, and other fee-producing opportunities.  The presentations at the Midwest Bankers Day will cover a variety of these topics, and attendees will learn some actionable platforms to use at their community banks.
 
After the presentations join us for lunch and a round of golf at beautiful Iron Horse Golf Club.

July 27, 2016

That's a Nice Piece of Real Estate: Should We Buy It?

 
Observations on Permissible 
Real Estate Investments for Banks and Their Holding Companies 
  
Banks and bank holding companies are creatures of limited powers. State and federal law place significant constraints on permissible activities and permissible investments for banks and BHCs.

For banks in South Dakota all of the action when it comes to these constraints is at the federal level, for both state and national banks. All of the applicable limitations under federal law apply to both state banks and national banks (and their BHCs), and nothing under South Dakota law imposes limitations on South Dakota banks that is not also imposed by federal law. For state banks the key limiting statutory provision is 12 U.S.C. §1831a which in essence provides that a state bank may not engage in any activity or hold any investment that is not permissible for national banks, unless the state bank receives the prior approval of the FDIC.
