Talking Stick - March/April 2018 - 35
how the decision for FLSA was made
will set an early tone of openness and
honesty in the search process. Institutional rules and compensation will
differ from campus to campus, but
many entry-level staff may not know to
ask about assumed compensatory benefits like professional travel. Feedback
also supported campuses periodically
reviewing positions to ensure that
job descriptions accurately reflect the
responsibilities staff have and benchmark pay. As schools made changes to
pay in anticipation of the exemption
minimum increasing, an institution
may be less competitive when it comes
to recruiting and keeping candidates.
Finally, the FLSA debate can be
looked at less as a challenge and more
as an opportunity. Instead of looking
at a potential mandate and trying to figure out a fix for it, the profession can
take a step back, assess existing conditions, and re-envision what residence
life campus communities are. Sure,
institutions can change staff to hourly
pay to reduce costs, but how does that
impact staff availability and accessibility? What sacrifices are made when
there's a clock ticking, administrative
deadlines, and a complex student issue
that can't be solved in 15-minute increments, especially by professional staff
still learning how to deal with behavioral and interpersonal challenges? The
courts may have tabled the law, but not
the discussions.
. . . THIS MARKS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
TRANSPARENCY AND COMMUNICATION
PARAMOUNT. EXPLAINING, IN DETAIL, THE
COMPENSATION PACKAGE AND HOW THE
DECISION FOR FLSA WAS MADE WILL SET AN
EARLY TONE OF OPENNESS AND HONESTY IN
THE SEARCH PROCESS.
Why all the excitement?
