Overview

Payroll errors start with classification. This 75-minute payroll rules and administration webinar begins with how to classify workers as employees or contractors, using the governing guidelines and specific IRS criteria, and how to pay contractors.

It then covers classifying employees as exempt or non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), including the executive, administrative, professional, computer professional and sales categories and the salary and duties tests. You'll see how to pay exempt and non-exempt staff, overtime and non-discretionary bonuses correctly, and why a well-prepared job description matters when applying the overtime rules.

The session also addresses recordkeeping, accounting and reporting, and the policies and procedures companies need to supplement FLSA rules.

Why attend: Payroll affects employee morale and must comply with every applicable rule and policy. This webinar takes a simple, practical approach to FLSA payroll rules and how to apply them, with a focus on getting it right and preventing errors, especially for employees newly classified as exempt or non-exempt. It suits HR and PR personnel, supervisors, managers, controllers, planning and budgeting professionals and anyone involved in personnel or payroll administration.
