Event Synopsis:

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires private sector and federal, state, and local governmental employees be paid a minimum wage and overtime for hours worked in excess of 40 per week.

In June 2015, the United States Department of Labor (DOL) submitted proposed rules to update the FLSA for overtime pay regulations. The proposed rules extend overtime pay to as many as 4.6 million workers who are currently exempt from over-time pay under the current regulations.

The proposed changes will increase the salary level of full time workers, will update salary levels automatically, and increase the salary level for highly compensated, exempt employees.

In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of thought leaders and labor law attorneys to discuss the effect of proposed DOL Changes to FLSA Overtime Requirements in 2016. Speakers will help the audience in preparing for and implementing the regulatory changes to avoid common pitfalls.

Key topics include:

• FLSA Wage and Hour Laws: Updates
• Employee and Over-time Exemptions
• Wage and Over-time Calculations
• Update on DOL Enforcement Actions
• Significant Litigation Issues
• Compliance and Litigation Risk
• Best Practices
