Characterization or mischaracterization of workers as “exempt” or “non-exempt” for purposes of overtime payments have major legal and financial implications for employers. Mischaracterization of workers can easily give rise to private litigation and substantial financial liability for violations extending over many years. Also, the US Department of Labor continues its national campaign of auditing employee classifications. The difficulty for employers is that even a good faith effort at classification can easily lead you astray as the rules are not easily applied, particularly in a climate where the nature of work and job descriptions are changing rapidly. This program will provide you with a real-world guide to the rules and principles governing worker classification, trends in DOL audits and private independent contractor litigation, and best practices for avoiding liability. Part 1 of 2.
Highlights:
- Rules and principles for the classification of employees as “exempt” or “non-exempt” for overtime purposes
- Trends in independent contractor litigation
- Hybrid federal/state litigation
- Meals/rest time
- Donning and doffing
