The statement explains why the reclassification is necessary under the Fair Labor Standards Act and expresses appreciation for the thoughtfulness and hard work of human resources directors, managers, and other employees across the Universitys Schools and units in bringing the Universitys diverse and complex range of work responsibilities into alignment with external legal requirements. The statement, which human resources officers across the University were encouraged to share broadly within their Schools and departments, is reprinted in full below. Individual employees who have questions about reclassification should contact their HR representative for further information."}
