This workshop increases your basic understanding of FLSA by focusing on the more challenging and misunderstood exemptions and the many unknown pitfalls and mistakes employers make when classifying positions. You’ll explore the subtleties of the regulations and the complex, yet common, business scenarios that will assist in determining exempt or nonexempt status and examine the inevitable increase in the salary level threshold – and its impact on how our jobs are structured. Come prepared to dissect your organization’s exempt positions and leave armed with new knowledge to ensure that they’re properly classified.
