CLASSIFICATION
COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
DATE: January 2, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Amending Personnel Policy - Compensation Classification
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Compensation Classification Policy Proposed Changes
As part of the FLSA, employers can lose exemption status if it has an “actual practice” of
making improper deductions from salary. To avoid the loss of an overtime exemption
for an entire class of employees, employers must adopt a policy that includes the
following safe harbor language: intention to comply with regulations, permissible
deductions, procedure for filing a complaint, and a procedure for prompt review of
complaints.
Per the recommendations of the FLSA, we are adding language regarding the FLSA
Exempt Safe Harbor.
