Periodically, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the Department of Labor (DOL) issues updates and new regulations that employers must comply with or face stiff penalties. Most recently, the Department of Labor updated the salary test for certain of the overtime exemptions, known as the “white collar” exemptions for executive, administrative, and professional employees, computer professionals, and outside sales employees. We will discuss those new rules.
While the DOL changed the salary threshold, and while the duties test for each exemption category remains the same, many employers still find the subject of overtime exemptions to be a challenge. The result: many employers improperly classify their employees as exempt from overtime and end up owing big payouts in overtime pay, tax withholding, fines, and penalties. This webinar will provide you the clarity and proper understanding you need of the more common exemption categories, the criteria you must meet in order to classify your employees as exempt under one (or more) of those categories) and some Best Practices to help you fly under the DOL’s radar.
