Workshop - New Overtime Rules through the Department of Labor



Learn about the minimum salary rules - Employers have until January 1, 2020 to comply.

About this Event

On September 24, 2019, the Department of Labor (DOL) published final rules that will increase the minimum salary required to be exempt from overtime. Employers have until January 1, 2020 to comply.

The DOL estimates that approximately 1.2 million workers will be impacted. Will your employees or clients be affected by this change? And if yes, do you know what you need to do to prepare and how to comply? During this session, discussion will include:

 

  • An overview of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
  • Exempt vs. non-exempt status
  • The DOL's changes to exemption criteria
  • New minimum salary requirements effective January 1, 2020
  • Options for complying with the final rules
  • How the final rules impact policies and practices related to after-hours work, overtime and time tracking
