Wage and Hour Topics: Making Sense of Requirements Affecting Exempt and Non-Exempt Employees

Why Should You Attend:

As is with many regulations, Companies are confused or resentful of continued regulations and find it as an obstacle in running, growing and expanding their companies. It is a challenge for companies to keep track of regulatory changes and deadlines. A good human resources department or professional can mitigate some of these regulations by staying up to date on workplace laws, regulations and Executive Orders that not only is hard to keep up, but also difficult to track the changes.

Not following these changes is a landmine for companies and it would be in their best interest to be aware of changes and also have qualified human resources professionals and train their managers to identify the impact of these regulations to their bottom line. This course will provide business owners, human resources professional or other roles handling their workplace risk management situations, the top situations that can impact the DOL regulations.

It is important for Employers to be aware of how the Overtime Regulations new ruling impacts them. DOL has increased the salary threshold to determine exempt/non-exempt status.

Additionally, DOL and the Wage & Hour Division, the enforcement arm of the DOL and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has increased their auditing efforts to ensure the Wage & Hour regulations impacting job seekers and employees are compliant. This include misclassification of exempt and non-exempt employees, employees vs independent contractors classification, overtime violations, off the clock work and other violations of regulations. This training will guide you as to the trending Wage & Hour regulations that impact exempt/non-exempt employees.

It will also identify resources and tools that can be used to reduce risk and focus on growing businesses. But please do not be penny wise and penny foolish. It is more cost effective to invest in qualified individuals who can mitigate some of the risks as well and providing training to those managers who can unwittingly risk fines and penalties with significant increase in your cost to do business.
