ANCOR is gathering data from member agencies to assist us in responding to the recently-proposed Department of Labor rule that would significantly increase the salary threshold for overtime-exempt executive, administrative, and professional workers. The proposed rule suggests raising the threshold from the current $23,660/year to the 40th percentile of earnings for full-time salaried workers (estimated to be $50,440/yr in 2016). The Department of Labor has asked for public comment on the appropriateness of the proposed salary threshold, mechanism for automatically updating salary levels, and existing duties test requirements.
Please provide as much requested information as possible to best assist ANCOR in coordinating a multi-layered response to the proposed rule. We understand that hours and duties often fluctuate week to week, so please provide your best estimate where appropriate.
NOTE TO MULTI-STATE PROVIDERS: It is important that we analyze data state-by-state. If you operate in multiple states, please provide information broken down by state by completing the questions as prompted for each state (this survey has the capacity to collect data for up to 10 states). You may also email the data to Katherine Berland (kberland@ancor.org) in a spreadsheet or other format if that is more convenient. Please email Katherine with any questions as well.
ANCOR will consolidate the data gathered for reporting purposes and will not include identifying information when submitting information to other entities unless expressly given permission to do so. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! PLEASE TRY TO COMPLETE THIS SURVEY BY AUGUST 3, 2015.
