Failure to properly estimate an employee\u2019s hours worked may lead to shocking results when you reclassify\u00a0them as hourly. For instance, assuming that an employee is working 40 hours per week and calculating their\u00a0new hourly rate based on this could lead to a huge amount of unexpected overtime payout if the employee\u00a0has been working more than 40 hours per week on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>In order to get the information you\u00a0need, you\u2019ll have to ask your exempt employees to do something new: track\u00a0their time.\u00a0However, asking exempt employees to begin tracking hours worked without providing detailed\u00a0reasoning may cause confusion. You\u2019ll want to clearly communicate with employees that this\u00a0is for tracking and preparation purposes only and will have no effect on their current salary.\u00a0The sole purpose is to prepare for compliance with the new laws \u2013 not micromanagement.<\/p>\n<p>Download our <a href=\"https:\/\/gtm.com\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/FLSA_Update_Time_Tracking_Memo.docx\">Time Tracking Memo to Exempt Employees<\/a>\u00a0to notify your affected staff\u00a0of the new rule and the need to start tracking their hours. You can customize the memo to add\u00a0your company&#8217;s logo and any other information you need to include.<\/p>\n<p>GTM has advanced time and attendance solutions to help you manage this transition, including web-based time clocks and mobile applications.
