ABOUT THE EVENT
Overview:
The Department of Labor has proposed new rules for exempt employees. The new rules are expected to increase the minimum salary threshold for exempt employees and revise the duties tests for classification of employees as exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labors Standards Act. This session will review the current Department of Labor regulations as they apply to white-collar exemptions to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) minimum wage and overtime requirement. The tests for exemption are the salary basis test, minimum salary requirement, and duties tests. These tests have changed over the years and are complex and can be confusing. In addition, there are strict record-keeping and salary integrity requirements to prevent disqualification of the exemption. The webinar will also describe proposed changes to the rules and how employers can prepare for the changes. Both the federal Department of Labor and State Wage and Hour agencies are engaged in enforcement initiatives concerned with the misclassification of employees as exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act overtime requirements. Employers are often confused as to which exemptions may apply to a particular employee.
Why You Should Attend:
Making sure that employees are properly classified as exempt or non-exempt can be a daunting task. Misclassification of employees as exempt can be costly in terms of penalties and back pay awards for overtime compensation. This session will discuss the ways that employers can stay compliant as well as some of the ways employers have found themselves in trouble. In addition to information regarding the newly proposed rules for exempt employees, you will learn how to determine whether an employee qualifies for exemption from the FLSA minimum wage and overtime requirements. How to handle certain employee absences from work, including FLSA intermittent leave, use of paid time off for part-day absences, and employer actions that can lead to disqualification.

- Distinguish between the various types of exemptions.
- Identify whether specific work activities support exempt status or nonexempt status
- Know the common misconceptions about exempt status, job titles, and salary basis
