Revised Rules for Fair Labor Standards Act

Larry T. Ellis, Director

The Department of Labor will be implementing revised rules regarding the Fair Labor Standards Act after 50 years of little such revision. Although these changes will have only a minor impact on the University of Florida’s compliance, several of the university’s exempt-classified pay grades will be restructured to maintain compliance.

Current UF salaries indicate that no employee will be impacted by these revisions; nevertheless, the minimum pay for these select classifications will need to be raised. Effective immediately, the minimum annual salary for exempt pay grade 21 will be increased to $23,751. In addition, the following classifications will be reassigned from pay grade 20 to pay grade 21.

Class Code	Class Title
0297	University Postal Manager
2757	Museum Artisan
3642	Scientific Photographer
5548	Certified Radiologic Technologist Supervisor
5752	Senior Behavioral Program Supervisor
6223	Food Service Manager
6531	Executive Housekeeper
6532	Assistant Custodial Services Superintendent
6541	Automotive/Marine Equipment Mechanic Supervisor

Again, this change will not affect our current employees, as their pay already exceeds this new minimum; however, the change may impact your area’s hiring rate, as it sets a higher minimum.

If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact Kris Pagenkopf, manager, Classification & Compensation, at 392-1213 or SC 622-1213.
