The U.S. Department of Labor has issued its Overtime Final Rule that raises the minimum salary threshold that white-collar employees must be paid to remain exempt from overtime. Effective January 1, 2020, the rule raises the salary threshold from $455 per week ($23,660 per year) to $684 per week ($35,568 per year), and also raises the threshold for “highly compensated employees” from $100,000 per year to $107,432 per year and allows employers to satisfy up to 10 percent of the standard salary level by using nondiscretionary bonuses and incentive payments. The Labor Department estimates that 1.3 million employees will become entitled to overtime due to this rulemaking, including seven percent of the nonprofit workforce.
Join the Center and the National Council of Nonprofits for a
Nonprofit Overtime Webinar on November 5 at 3 p.m. to help all in the charitable community understand what the Overtime Final Rule means to nonprofit operations and missions, and what nonprofits should be doing now to prepare. Officials from the U.S. Department of Labor and experts from groups representing workers and employers will present their unique perspectives and answer questions from nonprofits. We will also address the interplay of federal and state law and help participants determine the labor standards they should be applying in their workplaces.
Register now.

Although there are many ways in which nonprofits are required to be compliant on personnel and legal matters, there are many ways to foster a workplace where employees experience a true work-life balance. North Carolina Early Childhood Foundation’s Guide to Family Forward Workplaces
outlines family-friendly practices (and examples) that support both employers and employees.

Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback with us through our 2019 Engagement Survey. And congratulations to the two survey participants who won $100 in Center Cash!
As we work through the responses, we’ll be adapting our work to align with what North Carolina nonprofits need and value the most.
Another special thanks, in recognition of
Pro Bono Week (October 20-26), to all the volunteers – attorneys, CPAs, marketers, professional coaches, HR and executive transition experts– who share their time and expertise through our
Pro Bono Programs. Our Center Members (the Center included!) have saved time, money, sweat, and tears through these complimentary consultations!

The North Carolina Outdoor Advertising Association established its Public Education Program (PEP) to partner with civic groups, charitable organizations, and various governmental agencies to promote positive educational messaging through the use of outdoor advertising.
PEP provides quality outdoor advertising at favorable rates to the nonprofit community in North Carolina, and is offered for both regional and state-wide campaigns. Outdoor advertising is one of the most impactful advertising mediums available, reaching people where they spend the majority of their time…outside their homes, in their communities.
