The projected stipend levels, planned to be effective December 1, 2016, align with the “spirit” of the U.S. Department of Labor revisions to the rules on paid overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). NIH states that the “exact stipend levels and the actual date of implementation are subject to the availability of FY 2017 appropriations and implementation of the new FLSA threshold for professional workers to be eligible for paid overtime.”
