Nationwide Survey Finds Nonprofits See Challenges & Seek Solution for Coping with New Overtime Rule
In a new report, The Nonprofit Overtime Implementation Conundrum, the National Council of Nonprofits presents the findings from a national survey it conducted of nonprofits with government grants and contracts. The survey found that a third of respondents (34 percent) reported they will likely reduce staff and a third (33 percent) expect to be forced to cut back on the services offered to the public. While many expressed support for the concept of the new rule, nonprofits with government grants and contracts expressed frustration at being caught between a rock and a hard place: bound by written agreements requiring them to do a certain amount of work at a fixed reimbursement rate when changes in federal wage and hour policy will impose operating expenses to levels that were not anticipated when the agreements were signed. One solution identified in the report is for governments to agree to reopen or renegotiate the existing grants and contracts.
