Complying with FLSA – How to Determine Exempt Status & Calculate Overtime Correctly

This webinar on employee overtime calculation will help you understand what is “time worked”, exempt versus non-exempt status and how to calculate your employees' overtime correctly so to avoid these costly suits.

Why Should You Attend:

Overtime lawsuits are on the rise. Employees are getting wiser to their rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and are realizing that their employers have been incorrectly designating them as exempt and, therefore, have not been paying them overtime they are due. They are also realizing that employers are failing to record “working time” correctly – resulting in significant underpayments to their employees.
