Overview of the webinar
You have to pay time and a half for hours worked over forty in a week. Sounds simple? While it may sound simple, there are many legal issues that can trap the unwary. And, we know that no one gets it completely right. Employers make a lot of mistakes ranging from not recognizing when a certain time is “compensable working time” to errors in calculating overtime. As a result, FLSA litigation has exploded over the years. Suits are usually brought through class or collective actions making them very costly. Don’t let your company be the next one sued!

Why should you attend?
Correctly paying overtime is a daunting task. Unfortunately, hardly anyone gets it right – the Department of Labor estimates that approximately 85% of employers are out of compliance. Employers not only have to worry about the Department of Labor but the private bar as well. Plaintiffs’ attorneys love to bring cases under the Fair Labor Standards Act because the employees’ burden of proof is very minimal – the employer has the burden to prove just about everything. Sometimes employers find themselves having to prove the negative – your employee did not work the hours they say they did. During this webinar, we will cover the concepts of “working time” and various legal ways to pay your employees overtime while cutting your overtime liability.
