Semi-Monthy payroll and non-exempt at 86.67 hours

Our company has in the past paid non-exempts 86.67 hours a pay period (if they worked 8 hours each work day). We pay semi monthly (15th and last day of month). On a yearly total this works out fine - 24 periods * 86.67 = 2080 hours per year.
We do pay overtime if an employee works over 40 in a week, so I don't believe that is an issue.
My big question is if this is legal. I have been told by several people that this is the standard way to pay in a semi-monthly environment, but none of these people are experts.
If you know right or wrong, could you please list an regulations to back this up.
Thanks for any replies.

I think we are OK too, but we have a new HR person who is not so sure.
I am not finding much documentation out there for or against what we are currently doing.
I might post the question again in the main forum if I don't get answer from someone who can back it up with specific regulation.
