Misclassified employees—your administrative, professional, executive, and outside sales workers whom you’ve mistakenly treated as exempt from overtime—are a huge, expensive, ticking time bomb for many employers around the country:
More class action lawsuits were filed against employers this year on wage and hour issues than any other employment issue—with more on the way for 2010.
Federal regulators have announced plans to hire more field investigators and increase payroll audits next year to uncover these payroll violations.
Deciding which employees meet Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guidelines for exemptions is very tricky business – and even an honest mistake can put you on the hook for several years’ worth of back pay (plus additional damages and attorney’s fees).
With the risk of wage/hour litigation on the rise, now is the time for Boot Camp.
Learning Objectives:- The most common mistakes employers make when classifying administrative employees for overtime purposes – and how you can avoid repeating them
- How to apply the salary level and standard duties tests to your administrative workers
- What “exercise of discretion and independent judgment” really means, in plain English, and why it’s different from the typical administrative employee’s basic job skills
- How to review your administrative job classifications and descriptions in search of any red flags that could mean classification problems
- The recordkeeping techniques you can use to defend your overtime exemptions for administrative employees
- The safest ways to fix overtime exemption errors—without triggering DOL audits and employee claims
- Why—and how—you should regularly audit your administrative exempt classifications

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
