Wage-and-Hour & Overtime Compliance

WEBINAR

Wednesday, February 18 • 1:00 p.m. (Eastern)

Learn how to master complex wage-and-hour laws.

Classifying employees and then paying them correctly is complicated—and it triggers more lawsuits and penalties than any other HR topic. Classification falls into two major categories.

The first is knowing the difference between an employee and an independent contractor. The second is determining whether an employee is an hourly worker entitled to overtime or an exempt worker usually paid a set salary regardless of hours worked. Getting those basics wrong can backfire for employers.

Are you absolutely sure you understand how to accurately classify employees, track hours, pay overtime, keep records and comply with other federal and state wage laws?

On February 18, discover how to master complex pay regulations in this newly updated wage-and-hour webinar. Learn how to find and defuse wage mistakes before they trigger legal trouble.
