Internal Consulting Scenarios

An engineering manager from your Texas location has approached you about changing the company’s policy for exempt over time for professional engineers who are not managers. Currently, the engineers do not receive overtime compensation. She feels that the amount of overtime the engineers are working deserves to be recognized in a tangible way.

Here is the information that you have:

· Your organization currently has three North American hubs: Dallas, TX, Detroit, MI, and Nashville, TN

· Turnover in engineering is less than 1% in all locations, with an average tenure of the following: Dallas, TX (8.5 years), Detroit, MI (6.5 years), and Nashville, TN (15.5 years).

· The engineering manager joined the company last year and moved from Los Angeles to Dallas, TX.

· Your pay is competitive, not leading, and your benefits are at market.

· Median pay for all engineering groups is 70,000.

· Average overtime for the group is 17 hours per week.

· There are several peer employee groups (Sales, HR, Supervision) that are similarly positioned that would not be included in this policy.

Make the case to support the Engineering Manager in the Change.
