Body
WHEREAS, On November 22, 2016 a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Texas, issued an Order Granting a Temporary Nationwide Injunction, halting the Department of Labor (DOL's) December 1, 2016 implementation of drastic changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act's "white collar exemptions." The new regulations would have doubled the minimum salary level required for executive, administrative and professional employees to be considered exempt from the FLSA's overtime requirements, from over $23,000 to over $47,000, and
WHEREAS, Resolutions #16-1306 and #16-1324 had authorized changes to the City's Pay Classification plan in preparation of becoming compliant with the new FLSA requirements and therefore in light of the injunction, there is now a need to rescind these resolutions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Foley, Alabama, as follows:
SECTION 1: Resolutions #16-1306 and #16-1324 are hereby rescinded.
SECTION 2: This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption as required by law.
