Employer Workshop - Are you ready for the FLSA Changes?

Are You Ready for the FLSA Changes on December 1^st?  A practical review of what you need to do to be ready and stay compliant.  Michael Bennett – Managing Director, H3R Human Resources Services Inc.                             Clark Tew – Attorney, Homesley & Wingo Law Group PLLC
Michael and Clark will be providing an overview of the upcoming changes to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) with regard to salary levels required to classify employees exempt from overtime pay.  Specifically, two changes will be reviewed and discussed:  1) basic qualifying salary change from $23,660 to $47,476, and 2) highly-compensated individual exemption change from $100,000 to $134,004.  The discussion will also include options for adjusting affected employees and strategies for minimizing unplanned overtime expenses.
They will also be discussing the employee classification process, both 1099 contractor versus employee and exempt versus non-exempt employee, providing clarification on this area that many businesses get wrong, resulting in Department of Labor complaints and penalties.
