The FLSA overtime rule changes planned for December 1, 2016 were blocked by a court injunction. This 60-minute webinar explains the overtime rule, what the change would have meant for employers, and how the injunction process and ruling timeline unfolded.
You'll review exempt vs non-exempt status, the definitions of the exemption categories and the exempt salary rate, and compare state rates with federal guidelines.
The session also looks at which organizations the change affected, related minimum wage increases, and potential future changes to the overtime rule at the federal and state level.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Overtime rules decide who must be paid for extra hours, and misclassifying employees is costly. Understanding the rule, the injunction and state variations helps you classify staff correctly.
This session suits HR and payroll professionals, small business owners, non-profit administrators, general and office managers, accounting professionals, attorneys and in-house counsel.
