FLSA Overtime Final Rule
Are you prepared for the new FLSA overtime rule effective July 1, 2024? This crucial update requires immediate action to ensure compliance. Review your employees' salaries, as those earning under $844/week may become overtime-eligible. Plan ahead for the January 1, 2025 increase, when the threshold jumps to $1,128/week. Remember, job duties remain a factor in determining exemption status. It's essential to update your payroll systems, revise policies, and train managers on these new requirements.
Don't risk non-compliance – start your preparations now.

National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
Everyone can play a role in preventing suicide! During National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in September, help the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) raise awareness by sharing resources that help others recognize the warning signs for suicide and learn how to get help.
As Suicide Prevention Month approaches, it's crucial for workplaces to address this sensitive but important topic. Suicide affects people from all walks of life, and open conversations are key to dispelling myths and changing statistics.
Employers can support their staff by recognizing warning signs, using appropriate language, and following the ALEC framework (Ask, Listen, Encourage action, Check in) when concerned about an employee. For those who have lost someone to suicide, companies should offer flexible time off, compassionate check-ins, and ongoing support, especially on significant dates. By fostering a culture of openness and understanding around mental health and suicide prevention, organizations can play a vital role in supporting their employees and potentially saving lives.
Companies can support their employees and promote suicide prevention by:
Educating staff on recognizing warning signs of suicide ideation
Promoting appropriate language use (e.g., "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide")
Implementing the ALEC framework (Ask, Listen, Encourage action, Check in) for concerned colleagues
Offering flexible time off and compassionate support for those affected by suicide loss
Providing access to mental health resources and employee assistance programs
Organizing awareness events or workshops during Suicide Prevention Month
Encouraging open discussions about mental health in the workplace
Training managers on how to have sensitive conversations about mental health
Creating a supportive culture that reduces stigma around seeking help
By taking these steps, organizations can play a vital role in supporting their employees' mental health, potentially saving lives, and fostering a more understanding and compassionate work environment.
