Reed College’s human resources office continues to closely monitor proposed changes to overtime regulations by the U.S. Department of Labor. The proposal regulations have been under review by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) since February 2024. This office has 90 days to make the final determination on the proposed regulation, after which time employers will have 60 days to make adjustments to comply with any changes to the regulations. Reed College will continue to comply with laws and regulations established by federal or state agencies. The new regulations would require some positions at Reed College to move from exempt to non-exempt status. In the past, similar rules have been proposed but not enacted. The human resources department is meeting with division leaders to discuss impact to any roles or operations within their areas, but no decisions have been made. There will be no salary decreases as a result of these new federal regulations.
