Course Description
The Department of Labor (DOL) has issued a new final rule that raises the salary thresholds for employees who can be considered exempt from overtime.
In this 90-minute webinar, we will break down the specific new salary amounts and provide additional important details about the rule.
If your employees work more than 40 hours in a workweek—or more than 8 hours a day in some states—they are entitled to overtime pay at 1.5 times their hourly rate of pay (HRP). Are you aware of all the payment types that require an overtime premium?
Join Mark Schwartz, an industry expert, in this essential webinar designed for payroll professionals to ensure full compliance with overtime regulations and to assist CFOs in accurately budgeting payroll expenses.
Key Takeaways:
-
- What hours qualify for wages, and which are eligible for overtime premiums.
- How to determine if fringe benefits and supplemental payments should be included in the hourly rate.
- Managing shift differentials when an employee’s workweek changes.
- Understanding state-specific overtime rules and how they differ from FLSA minimums.
- Best practices for handling payments made after a regular payday and allocating them to weeks with overtime work.
- Restrictions on setting workweeks and why proper payroll management is critical to compliance.
Learn how these changes will impact your business and the steps you can take to prevent future complications.
