Announcements: FLSA Exemption and Lead Librarians

Submitted by tim.rogers on Fri, 10/09/2015 - 13:07

As some of you probably know, the Library's senior leadership and the Human Resources department have been working on a couple of things that will affect many of you. The first, moving a number of positions to "Exempt" status will change the way Librarians and a number of other positions account for and record their time and get paid.  The second item, the creation of the Lead Librarian position, will represent the final piece of the organizational restructuring that started with Project Kaleidoscope.
