Key Highlights:

- Understand the Implications: Not preparing adequately for these changes can severely impact your organization financially and disrupt employee relations.
- Department of Labor Updates: The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulates wage payments and overtime, yet is widely misunderstood. Recent updates include exemptions such as the White-Collar Exemptions and the 7(i) exemption for retail and service establishments, alongside varying methods for calculating overtime pay.
- State and Local Variations: Beyond federal regulations, states like Alaska, California, and New York, and municipalities have set their own, often higher, standards. Staying informed on these variations is crucial for compliance.
Navigating Complex Regulations: Many organizations struggle with the specifics of white-collar exemptions, handling commissions, and managing other payroll additions such as shift differentials and production bonuses. It is vital to understand how to account for training and travel time to maintain compliance.
Why This Matters: Non-compliance can be costly, potentially resulting in fines reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars. This webinar will equip you with the knowledge to navigate these changes smoothly and effectively.
