What Employers Need to Know About the

Fair Labor Standards Act New Overtime Exemption Rule

Tuesday, July 12, 2016

2:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. PT

registernow

After a long wait, the Department of Labor (DOL) released revisions to the white collar overtime exemption rules in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Non-exempt, or “overtime eligible,” workers in the United States are entitled to time-and-a-half pay for their hours worked after 40 hours in a week. The webinar will focus on the new standards for the “white collar” or “EAP” exemption that covers executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees.

This webinar will:

  • Review the FLSA overtime rules generally, and the employers (or enterprises) that they apply to
  • Provide a brief overview of job-specific exemptions, such as switchboard operators
  • Discuss the long-standing white collar or EAP exemption salary threshold, and how it will change in December 2016
  • Provide insight on how the salary threshold is calculated, both in terms of the timing of paychecks, as well as the inclusion of commission or bonuses
  • Discuss factors outside of the salary threshold that must also be considered when determining if an employee is exempt or not
  • Discuss the duties tests that are looked at in addition to salary thresholds
  • Provide best practices on reviewing current employee roles
  • Discuss the potential conflict between the Affordable Care Act’s rate of pay safe harbor for affordability (for applicable large employers) for employees who are moved from salary  to hourly as the result of the new rules.

This 60-minute basic webinar will help employers get up to date on the new FLSA rules that go into effect in December 2016.

The presentation will be posted on the UBA website the day before the webinar.
