Description

What are the current FLSA requirements for exempt and non-exempt employees? How can these new regulations impact your business? Join us for this crash course and get answers. Julie Proscia, partner with SmithAmundsen, will lead the discussion and help you prepare.

Earlier this year, President Barack Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum directing his Secretary of Labor to update the regulations to expand the number of employees eligible for overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The president was expected to take more specific action based on statements made by White House personnel, but he left virtually all of the details to the United States Department of Labor.

The president set the stage for the Department of Labor to narrow the exceptions to the FLSA by discussing the failure of the executive or professional exemption to keep up with inflation. Commonly known as the “white-collar exemption,” the provision allows employers to classify many workers as executive, administrative, or professional, and exempt from the overtime laws.

This program will prepare attendees by reviewing:

• Current classification of employees as exempt or nonexempt under the current FLSA regulations and state law to ensure current compliance.
• Pay policies and work rules to ensure current compliance and helping to identify any that may need to be updated.
• Processes in place to track hours worked
