| Description: |
Plaintiffs’ attorneys are eager to pounce on employers that misclassify IT workers as exempt from overtime - class-action lawsuits against high-tech employers are lucrative and increasingly common, leading to million-dollar payouts for unpaid overtime, penalties, interest, and legal fees.
Potential class members include system, web, and database administrators; systems analysts; IT specialists; network engineers; and help-desk support workers. Even high-level network engineers with advanced certifications may be entitled to overtime in certain circumstances.
Plus, even if IT workers are classified as nonexempt, calculating their regular and overtime pay gets tricky because the jobs tend to require long and often irregular hours. You may be required to pay for standby time, reporting time, and call-in pay.
Join us for this 90-minute webinar where you will learn:- The huge penalties you could face if you misclassify IT workers
- Who may be classified as independent contractors, and which high-tech workers must be classified as employees
- How federal law defines which IT workers are exempt from overtime, including computer professional and white-collar exemptions
- How to evaluate computer and technology job duties and descriptions to determine if your IT workers should be getting overtime pay
- Whether you must pay overtime for non-work pay, such as standby and holiday pay, that IT workers have earned
- When the law requires you to pay IT workers overtime on shift differential and other work premiums
- How an alternative workweek schedule may affect your obligation to pay overtime
- The top five most common – and costly mistakes – to avoid where payment of overtime to IT workers is concerned
