Exempt or Non-Exempt Workers - Real Threats, Real Solutions
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Max Muller
Webinar Description
Employers know that the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) governs the classification of their employees for purposes of paying overtime wages. Many seminars, webinars and conference breakout sessions explain what the rules are without describing how to implement them. This webinar will both identify FLSA areas that are the subject of current Wage and Hour Division, Department of Labor (DOL) enforcement efforts and, more important, what employers can do to avoid violating the law and paying large amounts of back wages.
Agenda
During this session participants will learn, among other things, how to:
-
Learn the pay practice areas DOL is currently focusing its enforcement efforts on.
-
Undertake a voluntary self-audit of their organizations’ pay practices to determine
-
if nonexempt employees are being properly paid for all work performed, including work done “off the clock”
-
if employees have been properly classified as being either “exempt” or “nonexempt” from the overtime provisions of the FLSA.
-
-
Take step-by-step actions during a voluntary self-audit
-
Identify documents you should create as part of your self-audit and settlement of back wage claims
-
Support your “exempt” versus “nonexempt” employee classifications.
-
Implement the fluctuating workweek method of wage calculation in light of the DOL’s Final Rule on wage calculation methodologies.
