Exempt Employees: Classify, Pay and Comply with FLSA

Course Description:

Exempt worker classification and compliance infractions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) can be devastating or ruinous to any employer. 

In fact, improper exempt employee classification and non-compliance generate some of the largest back pay awards and fines ever recorded. This year alone the DOL’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) recovered:

1. $1,368,946 in back wages and fringe benefits for 140 employees of Total Enterprise Inc.,
2. $934,551 in overtime back wages for 479 employees of UnitedHealthcare and $104,280 in civil money penalties,
3. $780,000 in back wages and liquidated damages for 40 workers of Martino’s Pizzeria Inc.,
4. $219,390 in back wages and liquidated damages for 44 Boston-area restaurant employees,
5. $792,396 in back wages for 79 employees of Pythagoras General Contracting Corp.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.  The DOL has hired 100 new “enforcement personnel” to focus solely on misclassification.  Are you prepared?
