Do New Department of Labors Overtime Rules
take effect December 1, 2016
|
|
What are these rules and what impact do they have on the nonprofit community?
Once upon a time there was a nonprofit in Missouri. This nonprofit had a $2M budget and many full-time salaried employees making an average salary of $35,000 each. The nonprofit held many events in the summer, including performances and fundraisers. The happy employees willingly worked 50-60 hours each week to deliver the mission and to pull off successful fundraisers.
Then one day the Department of Labor issued final rules relating to overtime and the nonprofit world was to never be the same.....
Such is the world nonprofits will live in effective December 1, 2016. A world where they will very likely be exposed to paying overtime to employees if they do not understand the new rules and modify the structure of employee pay or work expectations.

Shared Spaces at Nonprofit Leadership Alliance
|
|
The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance has been building a talent pipeline for nearly 70 years. Since 1948, the Alliance has been working to increase our impact in the nonprofit sector by offering our nationally recognized credential, the Certified Nonprofit Professional or CNP.
The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri for many reasons. Arguably, our main reason is our founder, H. Roe Bartle - a Kansas City icon, former mayor and Boy Scout leader. Bartle thrived in the Kansas City community and made a conscious effort to build a solid foundation for the local sector.
Making our home in Kansas City is only appropriate. We are dedicated to building strong leadership, strong communities and strong organizations and Kansas City is one of our country's most active philanthropic communities.
