ABOUT THE EVENT

The FLSA is one of those laws that can trip managers up big time. It is also one of those laws that managers rarely think about or focus on. What types of issues can cause problems for managers?

First of all, managers need to understand how to correctly classify your employees as exempt or non-exempt. Then you have another big issue with regard to classifications and that is whether your Independent Contractors are really independent contractors or are they really employees who you have misclassified. There is also the issue of figuring out what time is compensable and what time does not have to be compensated for by an employer. Then there are 21^st Century issues such as working overtime on cell phones, blackberries, etc. and whether your employees need to be compensated for such time. Or what about if it takes a significant amount of time for your employees to boot up or boot down their computers. Do they have to be paid for that time if they are working even before they log onto their computers?

Areas Covered:

How to avoid misclassification of non-exempt employees as exempt
How to avoid misclassification of employees as independent contractors
What is compensable time?
Understanding obligations for payment of overtime for hours spent on smart phones after hours
Booting up or down computers as compensable time
