Legal Landmines: Exempt Vs. Non-exempt Classification Issues

March 24, 2010 - PRLog -- When: Wednesday, June 23 2010 10:00 AM (PDT)

Description:
One of the fastest growing areas of employment litigation relates to employee claims of back wages and overtime for misclassified employees. Damages typically run into the thousands and often millions of dollars. The Department of Labor has set aside $25 million of its new budget to find and litigate against employees who misclassify their employees.

This live teleconference will provide key concepts on how to classify employers as exempt vs. non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act. This presentation will explain the federal government rules clearly and concisely, and help your organization avoid liability in this very complex area.
