Overview of the webinar
Burlington Industries Settles in $11 Million Unpaid Overtime Wage Case.
In this case, many employees were improperly classified as exempt from overtime when their duties did not qualify them as such. Additionally, they violated State Laws such as in New York where the minimum salary level to qualify as exempt is $58,500 as opposed to the Federal minimum salary level of $35,568.
This webinar will review the Federal and State Guidelines to qualify positions as exempt, and review the minimum wage changes in all states and municipalities with their own minimum wages.
As you can see with the Burlington case mentioned above, failure to comply can be very costly.

Why should you attend?
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is one of the most misunderstood employment laws in the country. Basically, it governs the payment of wages and who must be paid overtime. To make things more confusing, the Department of Labor has implemented a number of exemptions to the requirement to pay overtime such as the White-Collar Exemptions and the 7(i) exemption for retail and service establishments. The DOL also allows different ways of computing overtime pay.
Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, New York, and Washington have developed rules that differ from Federal Law. Thirty-three states and a number of municipalities have implemented minimum wages that are higher than the Federal Minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
Many organizations do not understand their responsibilities with regard to what types of positions qualify as white-collar exemptions, how to handle commissions, shift differential and production bonuses for hourly employees, and other nuances of complying such as handling training and travel time.
The FLSA is a Federal Law, but employers must know that many states, municipalities, and any type of government contract may have their own rules regarding minimum wage and overtime.
Maintaining compliance is critical to your business. Failing to do so can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
