Human Resources - Salaried Employee: Temp Pay Change to Hourly Rate

Expert: Shirley McAllister, CPP, PHR - 10/26/2009

Question
I have a manager who has submitted a request for a temporary change in compensation for one of his managers, due to change in this manager's duties and responsibilities for the next few months. Here is the situation:

"John Smith" is currently a Salaried employee making 75k/yr. Due to a special project and change in his duties and responsibilities, John's manager has submitted a pay request to HR as follows:

Requesting to change "John Smith" to $32.06/hr and any time worked over 40 hours, he should receive 1 1/2 times this rate. Note: All other Salaried benefits stay the same. This change will be in place until 1/15/2010.

Can HR approve this request? Is this legal according to Wage Regulations and FSLA rules?

Answer
He is changing him to hourly for the time period of the special project. If he is doing different work and it is hourly than I don't see a problem with it. It is not illegal to pay anyone hourly even if they are exempt employees, the exempt is to exempt them from the FLSA and the overtime requirement.

Benefits are given to an employee by the company so the company may say what benefits an employee may have.
