Payroll

FLSA Exemption Threshold Report Update

US Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division new regulations requiring the minimum salary for exempt employees increased to $43,888 annually effective July 1, 2024.

With this change, we are updating the existing report “FLSA Exemption Threshold Report” to use the $43,888 annual value. Clients will be able to run an audit with an effective date of July 1st or later to determine which employees meet the new exemption requirements. The threshold for the FLSA report has also been updated for the change on 01/01/2025.

For further information, see this article on the Department of Labor website https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/overtime/rulemaking.

Platform

MFA Window Extended

We are committed to continually improving your experience and security when accessing our systems. Based on your valuable feedback and our ongoing efforts to optimize our processes, we are making an important update to the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) policy. We have decided to extend the verification window to 26 hours for users who choose the “remember this device” option.

 What’s Changing?

The MFA window has been extended to 26 hours.

Why This Change?

  • Reduced Frequency: By extending the MFA window, you will need to authenticate less frequently, thus reducing the interruptions to the user’s working day.
  • User Convenience: A slightly longer MFA window provides more flexibility, especially for those working across varying schedules.

What You Need to Do:

You do not need to take any action. This change has been implemented automatically, and you will notice the new MFA window in effect from the specified date above.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we strive to enhance our security measures and your user experience.

Site Selection

We are making the site or tenant selection process when logging into isolved more intuitive and user friendly. Key features include logic update that will only display the site or sites they have an active account in, and a UI update where sites will show as blocks that spell out the site name, have a logo, and a message of when you last accessed the site. Users will also have the ability to hide or unhide a site within the view!
