Who's Exempt? Who's Not? 10 Keys to Avoiding Overtime Fines Training Seminar
Lawsuits and multi-million dollar settlements involving unpaid overtime and employee misclassification continue to dominate the news. Many employers wonder how best to ensure that their workforces are properly classified for overtime purposes. This 60-minute course will provide a detailed overview of the white-collar exemptions, which were recently overhauled by the Department of Labor for the first time in over 50 years.
Our speaker will explore the key elements of each white-collar exemption and provide specific, practical examples showing how they're applied. The course will also highlight the "hot spots" -- those areas where employers are prone to make classification mistakes, and offer advice for conducting audits.
After attending this course, you will be able to explain:
- Why we see so many fines and lawsuits involving the "discretion and independent judgment" test aspect of the administrative exemption - and what you can do to get it right
- Changes to the salary basis test and steps you can take to ensure compliance
- How to classify analysts, specialists, coordinators, executive assistants, and computer employees
- How to use, draft and manage job descriptions -- which are often your worst enemy when you get into court -- from an overtime classification perspective
- How to correctly determine who is supervising who for purposes of the executive exemption
- How to handle situations where an employee is supervised by multiple bosses
- The effect of the increased salary level test on the exempt status of part-time employees
- How employers have been responding to the new regulations.
