Summary
Misclassifying a worker as exempt from overtime pay and other wage and hour requirements can be a costly error. You could owe years of back overtime pay, not to mention premiums for missed meal and rest breaks. And unfortunately, by the time many employers discover classification mistakes, it's already too late and they're facing a lawsuit. The number of wage and hour cases filed each year is rising, particularly class actions, and the financial stakes for your company could be high if your organization is sitting on exemption problems. Join us as we explore exemption rules under federal and California law and how to comply. Topics we cover in-depth include:
- The white collar exemptions from overtime -- and who qualifies for them.
- Tips for avoiding the most common classification mistakes.
- Strategies for finding and fixing classification errors.
- Complying with the salary basis rule; a look at pay practices you should -- and shouldn't -- have.
- The industries that are under the fire; and
- The latest federal and California court cases on exemption issues.
