KENSINGTON, Md. - April 24, 2017 - PRLog -- Grants Management Systems, Inc. (GMS), provider of accounting and revolving loan software for nonprofit organizations announced today its collaboration with Human Resource Consultant, Drake Maynard, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Government Professor, Diane M. Juffras, to host a three part Federal Labor and Standards Act (FLSA) webinar series. The three part series will begin Friday, June 23, 2017 and run, consecutively, each Friday after for one and a half hours beginning at 2:00 p.m.

Topics for each webinar include:

- Basic Concepts of the FLSA

- Compensable Time Under the FLSA

- Working Beyond the Work Week – Overtime Compensation Under the FLSA

Donald Cassady, President and CEO of GMS said, "We are excited to be partnering with Drake and Diane again. They are a valuable resource to our clients and always bring clarity and understanding to complex issues facing nonprofits. The FLSA can be confusing for some, so by offering this series I am confident that both GMS clients and non-clients will benefit."

During the webinars, Maynard and Juffras will answer questions such as: What do you need to know about what the FLSA does and does not require?, What time do you have to pay for and what do you not have to pay for?, How do you compensate employees who work overtime?, and Can you provide hour for hour time off in lieu of overtime compensation?.

"We get questions frequently and because there are many misunderstandings regarding the FLSA, our goal through offering this three part series is to help dispel the myths and bring clarity. There is a lot to cover, so breaking the webinar into three parts over a 3 week period was our best option and after each presentation we will allow for questions." said Maynard.
