Deciding which employees are entitled to overtime has grown harder over the past decade or two. Exempt employees meet the FLSA requirements for exemption from overtime pay; non-exempt employees must be paid overtime. This 90-minute exempt vs non-exempt webinar explains how to tell them apart.
Of the FLSA’s dozens of exemptions, the white-collar group comes up most often: executive, administrative and professional employees, computer professionals and outside sales staff. You'll learn how to apply the salary basis test, the salary threshold and the duties test, including discretion, supervision and authority, and why paying a salary does not by itself make someone exempt.
The session also covers safe harbor policies, job titles and descriptions, job evaluations and interviews, and case examples for pharma sales reps, auto service reps and financial services employees.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Classifying employees correctly saves time and money that would otherwise go to cleaning up administrative and legal problems, legal fees, unpaid overtime, fines and penalties, and lets you focus on running the business.
This session suits business owners, CFOs and controllers, senior management, compensation officers, HR directors and managers, and supervisors.
