FLSA Rule

Prior versions of the FLSA Rule provided inconsistent calculations that could differ from the latest DOL guidance on regular rate of pay under some circumstances.

To address these issues, the rule has been changed as follows:

• The rule's calculations were updated to correctly calculate the regular rate of pay (RROP) when overtime hours are included. If the total paid is less than the total owed, the rule inserts a premium for the difference.

  This change ensures that the rule correctly calculates the monies that are owed to the employee as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) .

• The rule only generates a single premium for its defined calculation period. The calculation period can now be daily or weekly. For a weekly calculation period, the premium is generated on the last day of the week.

  This change ensures that the premium is generated correctly on the employee's timesheet.

• Because the rule now supports daily and weekly calculation periods, the rule's name was changed to FLSA Rule.
