Justin Kiggins has launched the discussion at The Spectroscope.
Those postdocs who are salaried employees, however, are currently “exempt” from overtime pay if they make more than $23,660. The new rules mean that they will need a salary of at least $50,400. So if their institution is following the NIH standard, which sets a minimim of $42,840, it looks like they’ll either need to get paid overtime for any work done over 40 hours or get a raise to meet the exemption requirements
Go on over and read, especially for the links to places you can comment on this rule prior to implementation.
Grumble of the Day
July 6, 2015
I still get irritated every time a PO gives me some grant advice or guidance that is discordant with my best understanding of the process. It’s not so much that I take it seriously for my own strategy…I’ve been around this block once or twice.
What kills me is thinking that there are poor newcomer applicants who get this advice and may think it is Gospel. This would then lead them into making suboptimal strategic or tactical decisions.
