The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Wage & Hour Compliance 2020
OVERVIEW
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), commonly
referred to as the Wage and Hour Act, is considered to be an employee
protection act. This Act was passed in 1938. Since then, the FLSA has
been amended many times. The major provisions of the Act are concerned
with Federal minimum wage rates, overtime payments, child labor, equal pay, and
record-keeping.
The US Department of Labor, Wage & Hour Division, oversees Federal labor laws. Additionally, State DOLs administer state labor laws. Failure to comply with wage and hour laws may result in the employer paying the employee back wages, damages, penalties, attorney fees and court costs, plus the prospect of civil and criminal penalties from federal and/or state governments. Therefore, wage and hour compliance is of utmost importance.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Civil lawsuits for wage and hour violations
are always a threat to businesses. Violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA) can result in astronomical financial judgements against employers,
lawsuits, criminal charges, and/or being debarred from being awarded Federal
contracts for a period of three years. By understanding the FLSA rules and
regulations, you can protect your company from major financial consequences.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive understanding of the FLSA rules and regulations. You will learn how to properly calculate overtime pay and become familiar with the 3 tests used to determine FLSA exemptions. Participants will gain an understanding of what constitutes hours worked, what to do when state and federal laws differ, how final pay checks need to be handled, and when employees must be compensated for training, travel time, meal breaks, and on-call status. Terminology used throughout the Act will be explained. Additionally, FLSA exempt vs non exempt will be discussed in detail.
