Why Should You Attend:
In March 2014, President Obama signed a presidential memorandum authorizing the Labor Department to examine changes that would expand the number of employees eligible for overtime pay. Why? Businesses are classifying all kinds of employees as professional or administrative - including some who make as little as $23,660 a year - thereby exempting them from overtime requirements under current law.Penalties for non-compliance with FLSA’s exemption provisions can include:
- Payment of back wages
- Fines of $10,000
- Imprisonment
