Complimentary Webinar - Wage and Hour Proposed Regulations – 60 Minutes Q&A Session – Part 2

Why Should You Attend:

The reason to attend this workshop is to ask questions to understand how the proposed changes to wage and hour will affect your business, your pay practices, and your business model.

In July of 2015, The Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor issued proposed regulations that will drastically change the pay practices of most organizations. If passed as proposed, every employee making less than $970 a week or $50,440 annually must be treated as hourly employees who must clock in and out.

The final regulations can be issued any day now. Just about every business will be affected by these changes. Organizations that are not prepared will be left behind and will have to scramble just to stay in compliance.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• What is meant by white collar exemptions to the Fair Labor Standards Act
• What is meant by the new salary level test
• Preparing for the inevitable increase in the salary level test
• Keeping labor costs in line under the new regulations
• Complying with the new regulations

Who Will Benefit:

• Human resource personnel
• Small business owners

• Anyone involved in hiring or staffing

Topic Background:

President Obama issued a challenge to the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor in January of 2015 to simplify the Fair Labor Standards Act. So, in July of last year, proposed regulations were issued. After they were issued, there was a 60-day comment period in which over 300,000 comments were made. After reviewing these comments, the Department of Labor presented their final regulations to the Office of Management and Budget in mid-March 2016. This typically means that the final regulations will be issued within 6 weeks from that time.
