Course Description

In May 2016, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) extended overtime to 4.2 million employees effective Dec 1st, 2016. In Nov 2016, the Department of Labor’s (DOL) new FLSA overtime regulations were delayed by a last-minute court injunction. Is this just a delay, or something more permanent? And what happens next? Will the Department of Labor’s appeal succeed? What should you do if you have already made the changes in your company? What if you have not? Attend this critical session to get the answers to all of these questions and learn what you can do to ensure you comply with the FLSA more widely to avoid a costly and detrimental FLSA lawsuit in the future.

Learning Objectives

What it means to be "exempt" under the FLSA.
What is the new overtime rule.
What is compensable time.
Best practices for conducting a self-audit and/or reclassification of employees.
Aligning company policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the FLSA, and other state laws.
