HR Hero Audio Conference on CD
Mastering the DOL's New Overtime Pay Regulations
June 2004

After 12 months of public comments and analysis — including a fierce battle in Congress — the DOL has issued sweeping new revisions to federal regulations that determine who is exempt from overtime pay requirements. These new rules contain MAJOR changes you must fully understand to remain compliant with the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Are you CERTAIN you understand these just-revised overtime exemption regulations? Are you afraid you'll misclassify a worker as "exempt" — only to find he or she is NOT exempt — and leave your company open for lawsuits or other legal liability?

Agenda

These new DOL regulations dramatically raises the salary level for the classification of exempt workers . . . meaning more of your lower-paid workers likely will now be classified as non-exempt. So you must learn the new federal rules for classifying and compensating your employees. Or you'll risk serious legal problems.
