Understanding employee classification under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is critical for employers to remain compliant with federal wage and hour laws. Misclassifying employees as exempt or non-exempt can result in costly penalties, back pay liabilities, and legal disputes.
This webinar will provide a clear and practical overview of FLSA employee classification rules and employer responsibilities. Participants will learn how to correctly determine exempt vs. non-exempt status, understand current salary thresholds, and apply proper wage and overtime rules.
The session will also address common misclassification issues involving independent contractors, temporary employees, and trainees. Attendees will gain practical guidance to help ensure payroll compliance and avoid costly Department of Labor (DOL) violations.
