Overview:
The Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) or the Wage and Hour Act has been updated many times over
the years to include some important features. It serves as an Employee
Protection Act to help employees, generally presumed non-exempt and entitled to
overtime pay. It explains the exemptions for professional, administrative,
executive, outside sales, and computer-related employees.
Since 1938, the US
Department of Labor (DOL) Wage & Hour Division has been overseeing federal
labor laws. The non-compliance with Wage & Hour laws causes the employer to
pay the employee back wages, damages, penalties, attorney fees, and court
costs, and the aspect of civil and criminal penalties from federal and/or state
governments. Now you need to recognize the growing importance of Wage &
hour compliance.
Civil lawsuits for
Wage and Hour violations are always a big threat to business. Violations of the
FLSA can result in astronomical financial judgments against employers. Thus,
the FLSA provisions protect your company from a major financial loss. Learn
what these provisions support for minimum wage rates, overtime payments, child
labor, and equal pay.
Why Should You Attend:
This live webinar will
be a comprehensive guide consisting of FLSA's key provisions. We will discuss
how 2021 will reform the calculation of overtime pay, and what responsibilities
need to be fulfilled during the ‘work hours’. When state and federal laws
counter one another, what’s a smart move for you? We will bring forward the
regulatory standards for employees to be compensated for training, meal breaks,
travel time, and on-call status.
