Are you prepared for the onset of the Department of Labor’s new federal overtime regulations? Many organizations tend to struggle with employee classification standards and are even further confused by the criteria(s) used to determine the appropriate classification. Moreover, incorrectly administering FLSA could pose significant risks to your company.
The expected FLSA salary level updates and overtime protections associated with the new regulation demands a clear understanding of exempt vs. nonexempt employee classifications and the “tests” used to make that determination. While this might seem like a straightforward task for an HR professional, there are various aspects of FLSA regulations that fall into the gray areas, including:
- Bonuses
- Seasonal workers
- Weekly compliance
- Comp time
- Sales commissions
- And more
In this practical webinar, you will learn how to identify and analyze the details of FLSA and craft an effective strategy that aligns with FLSA regulations, including those that will be implemented in the near future. You will receive instructions on how to successfully implement the various aspects of the FLSA, regarding exempt and nonexempt employee classifications.
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
- Clarify the difference between FLSA exempt and nonexempt
- Identify which employees are provided an exemption from minimum wage and overtime provisions
- Determine how the three required tests are applied to your employees to determine classifications and qualify for an exemption:
- Salary level
- Salary basis
- Duties tests
- Analyze the differences between blue-collar employee and white-collar employee classifications
- Examine special exemption cases, including those of:
- Teachers
- Doctors
- Motor carriers
- Small police departments, and more
- Outline problematic pay practices that may put an employee’s exempt status at risk
- Define the basic rules for nonexempt employees to avoid costly fines and penalties
- Identify and revise a job’s classification based on the new regulations
- Inform managers and employees about FLSA changes and impact
