Employers often ask what being exempt means under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The rules are confusing, and classification mistakes can be expensive. Exempt status isn't just about how you pay someone; it depends on how you pay, how much you pay and whether the employee performs the right job duties.
This 60-minute FLSA classification webinar explains the difference between exempt and nonexempt employees, the exempt categories including the executive exemption, and the job duties required for each. You'll learn how to check whether an employee is properly classified, how to pay exempt employees correctly and the salary level requirement.
The session also covers what to do when an employee can't be classified as exempt and issues to watch under the FLSA.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
