This policy authorizes Human Resources to create rules related to City compliance with FLSA.
All employees classified as 'exempt' as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This applies to exempt employees under the Mayor and City Council.
Council approval: June 12, 1998, Resolution 1998R-208
Last revised: September 12, 2008, Procedures approved
That the City of Minneapolis shall follow the minimum requirements of the FLSA of 1938, as amended, and the Minnesota FLSA. Be it further resolved that the City of Minneapolis does hereby authorize the Human Resources Department to promulgate rules and procedures to administer the minimum requirements of the FLSA of 1938, as amended, and the Minnesota FLSA.
If an exempt employee believes an improper deduction has been made from their compensation, the employee should contact their HR Generalist via email or letter within 15 calendar days following the deduction so the issue can be investigated promptly and resolved.
The FLSA allows employers to require exempt employees to record and track time, require exempt employees to work a specified schedule and implement across-the-board schedule changes without jeopardizing the exempt status of employees. It is important to also consult applicable labor agreements for additional language and guidance.
