Wage and hour compliance involves several pitfalls. Recently, the federal Department of Labor has proposed doubling the minimum salary requirement for the overtime exemptions, and that new requirement is expected to take effect in 2016. And, not only is there a set of complex federal regulations pertaining to minimum wage and overtime pay, but most states (and an increasing number of cities) are adding regulations that provide greater protections to employees. Most employers become confused when these different sets of regulations apply to them, while at the same time both federal and state enforcement agencies are increasing the number of audits and investigations they perform. Without the proper knowledge and training, costly mistakes can be made. This topic will prepare you to avoid the wage and hour law traps that exist. Learn the differences between the overtime exemptions, how to calculate working time when training or travel is involved, and what deductions can be taken from employees’ pay and final paycheck. Failing to implement policies and training that result in compliance with these laws can lead to significant liability, but this topic will provide the ammunition and tools to prevent violations or fix them before they become a problem.
