Advisory Concerning the Classification of Employees Under the Fair Labor Standards Act
June 7, 2013
Summary
The Office of Inspector General recently attempted to audit the City’s overtime payments to employees for compliance with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Executive Summary
When we began our audit work in March 2013, we could not proceed with the audit because, for the majority of employees, the City had not yet determined whether their positions were covered by or exempt from the overtime compensation requirements of FLSA. The Department of Human Resources has made substantial progress since we began our inquiries, assigning FLSA classifications for a third of City job titles and over 80% of all City employees, but has not completed this task.
