Exempt v. Non-Exempt Employees (Course T6056) May 30, 2019 / 10:30a.m. - Noon Speaker: Janette Frisch, JD Founder and Principal, Law Office of Janette Levey Frisch and The EmpLAWyerologist Firm The price for the webinar is $225 per phone line. Course Curriculum During the last decade or two, employers have found it increasingly difficult to decide which employees are entitled to overtime. Those classifications are commonly referred to as exempt employees (those who meet the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA’s) requirements to be exempt from overtime pay) and non-exempt employees (employees the law requires to be paid overtime). The FLSA contains dozens of exemptions, including specific categories of employers and employees that are not subject to the Act’s overtime requirements. Most common are the “white-collar” exemptions for executive, administrative, and professional employees, computer professionals, and outside sales employees. What are these exemptions exactly? Who qualifies? What must you do to make sure that your employees are properly classified, and, most importantly, how can you make sure that your practices comply with the FLSA so you do not fall prey to a Department of Labor audit? Or possibly worse? A lawsuit—resulting in unpaid overtime, liquidated damages, other fines and penalties in addition to your legal fees. Join this webinar and find out!
