Overview:
The U.S. Department of Labor has announced important new — some would add, demanding — rules that need to be addressed. Beginning December 1, 2016, organizations will need to respond to the changes in the definition and requirements of “exempt” and “non-exempt” employees. Employees now earning less than $913 per week will qualify for overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours per week.
Meanwhile the Wage and Hour division is pursuing strategies that ensure employees are properly paid. Last year the Wage and Hour Division obtained more than $38 million in back wages for primarily restaurant workers for minimum wage and overtime violations.
Why Should You Attend:
The IRS, the Department of Labor, the EEOC, state agencies, and trial lawyers have put employers on notice: Wage and hour issues are a “significant problem with adverse consequences.” To address this problem federal and state agencies are hiring new auditors and committing more resources to determine noncompliance. As a result, employers’ exposure to liabilities associated with wage and hour issues is increasing.
Areas Covered in this Webinar:
Human capital related labor costs represent a significant organizational expenditure. Labor costs are often the largest expense for many organizations and can have significant cash flow implications. At the same time, human capital also represents a significant organizational asset and is the engine and the wellspring of innovation, production, and revenue. Thus your organization’s decisions concerning the control of labor costs and the management of its human capital directly impacts the bottom line and provides valuable insight into the importance it gives this asset.
Numerous external and internal factors influence and affect your organization’s wage and hour decisions and policies, including: the economy, industry practices, competitive factors, financial resources, business objectives and imperatives, corporate culture and values, diversity and EEO goals, the use of performance management systems, and actual and perceived risks. Your organization must consider these factors in formulating a compensation policy that achieves external and internal pay equity.
