New laws are on the way – what to do now to get prepared.

Complex wage-and-hour laws made simple

Employee classification has always been tricky, but when the pandemic sent workers home and employers reduced hours and restructured job descriptions … overtime lines were blurred, and classification mistakes increased. While employers have flexibility in emergencies, a crisis isn’t an excuse for long-term out-of-classification work. It’s no wonder the DOL and state labor agencies continue to collect record-breaking amounts in fines.

On Friday, December 18, get a crash course on classifications and discover if your current setup is at risk – and what to do about it – with the all-new virtual Employee Classification Workshop. Attorney Anniken Davenport, who literally wrote the book on classification and overtime compliance, offers practical, step-by-step compliance advice for your organization.

Agenda for Employee Classification Workshop

Check your compliance. Learn how to self-audit for classification errors with a step-by-step plan.
Adjusting classifications for teleworkers. Why your plan MUST include virtual desk audits, new job descriptions and a reassessment of exempt vs. non-exempt status for currently exempt and hourly teleworkers.
Is management still exempt? Supervisor responsibilities have changed – make sure they still qualify as exempt.
Updating job descriptions. Why employees should write their own job descriptions at least once a year – and how management should approve, reject or modify those descriptions to preserve exempt status.
Tracking time for all employees. How to correctly clock time for exempt and non-exempt workers– whether they telework, report to an office or work on an intermittent leave schedule.
The PTO misstep. Why the way you pay (or don’t pay) your employees for breaks, days off and short-term shutdowns can destroy exempt status.

Interactive Q&A time included

In addition to providing training, Anniken will be answering your questions about employee classification in the dedicated Q&A time.
