ABOUT THE EVENT

The Department of Labor has released proposed new rules for exempt employees. If finalized, the new rules will increase the minimum salary thresholds for exempt employees and provide an automatic updating mechanism for the thresholds to reflect current earnings data. The proposed minimum salary threshold for most exempt employees is $1,059 per week, which is $55,068 for a full-year worker.

Description

This session will describe the proposed changes and compare them to the current Department of Labor regulations as they apply to the white collar exemptions to the minimum wage and overtime requirement of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The tests for exemption are the salary basis test, minimum salary requirement, and the duties tests. These tests have changed over the years and are complex and can be confusing. In addition, there are strict record-keeping requirements 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 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.

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.

  • Use the proposed thresholds to assess the potential impact on employee compensation
  • Compensation alternatives for employees who may no longer meet the threshold
  • Distinguish between the various types of exemptions.
  • Identify whether specific work activities support exempt status or nonexempt status
