The United States Department of Labor (USDOL) continues to make labor protections and wage requirements a legislative and operational priority. Governed by the USDOL, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulates the classification of employees who are exempt, or not exempt, from overtime. These guidelines are specific to work performed and the wages paid. The USDOL is re-examining salary and duty requirements, with changes expected this year. In addition to federal compliance, employers must ensure they are current with state and local requirements. The ramifications of misclassifying employees are far-reaching and often expensive. Employers should review current roles and wages and prepare for any changes.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The USDOL, as well as individual states and some locals, have specific guidelines for determining if an employee is exempt or not exempt from overtime. Back wages, penalties, and interest are just some of the ramifications employers face if employee positions are misclassified as exempt.
