What’s Happening in HR

By Michael F. Weiner, Legislative Director

Federal Court of Appeal Extends DOL’s Deadline to File Brief on Overtime Regulations

On 22, 2017, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the Department of Labor’s request for another

60 days to complete briefing on the recent injunction issued by a Texas district court against the new over-

time regulations. The final date for all briefing to be completed is May 1, 2017.

In its motion seeking the briefing delay, the DOL asserted that the new administration needed additional

time to consider the issue. This request may have been due to the withdrawal of Andrew Puzder from con-

sideration as Secretary of Labor and will allow Alexander Acosta, assuming he is confirmed, to consider the

Department’s position on the appeal.

The parallel lawsuit in the Texas district court continues. The district court has been considering since the

end of last year a motion for summary judgment against the regulations filed by business groups. It is possible

that the district court could rule before the Fifth Circuit perhaps providing additional issues to be appealed.

Strategic Planning Workshop for NSHRM Chapter members.

Facilitated by: Sherry Johnson SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CAE

Date: August 16, 2017 8:00am—4:30 Location: TBD

The objective of this workshop is to discuss how HR professionals can execute a strate-

gic plan to match their business goals; and, how to align their budget planning with their

strategic plan.

This workshop will focus on the business model strategic planning process that uses

information from the organization’s mission and goals (based on SWOT analysis) to

determine the necessary strategies, objectives, action items, and specific responsibilities

required to achieve the business goals, as well as a way to chart progress towards those goals.

The workshop participants will complete the worksheets included in the training to develop a mission statement and strategic plan,

and to review/revise their organization’s bylaws in accordance with the newly developed strategic goals.

We will discuss the importance of having a committee responsible for ensuring that the organization stays within the plan and

budget, or understands the value of making mid-course corrections.

Participants will also learn various group facilitation techniques that they can utilize in the workplace.

Approved for recertification credits: SHRM [6.75 PDCs] and HRCI [6.5 Business (Strategic)].
