The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), often called the Wage and Hour Act, dates from 1938 and has been amended many times since. Its main provisions cover minimum wage, overtime pay, child labor and equal pay.
This 90-minute FLSA wage and hour compliance webinar explains how to decide whether employees are correctly classified as exempt or non-exempt. You'll work through the duties, salary level and salary basis tests, the six exemptions, when overtime is owed and how to calculate it.
Federal wage and hour law is enforced by the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, and state labor departments enforce state law. Getting it wrong can mean back wages, damages, penalties, attorney fees, court costs and possible civil or criminal penalties.
