Payroll Nightmares? Learn How to Avoid FLSA Pitfalls 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
Your employees care most about one thing: their paycheck. Mess that up, and you’ll quickly have a disgruntled workforce—and perhaps a visit from the Department of Labor! Enter the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the U.S. law that dictates how employees must be paid. While this law has been around since 1938, it’s struggled to keep pace with the evolving world of business. The result? Employers often find themselves stumbling over the complex nuances of compliance. But fear not! This course will untangle those complexities, equipping you with the tools you need to pay your employees accurately and avoid expensive blunders.
In this course, you’ll dive into the essentials: how to classify employees correctly, how to apply the overtime rules, and what FLSA demands in terms of wages and benefits. Suzanne Lucas, HR expert extraordinaire, will guide you through the differences between exempt and non-exempt employees, proper wage calculations, and the nitty-gritty of overtime and tips. While this isn’t a substitute for legal counsel, it will give you the knowledge you need to stay compliant and keep your team happy.
Major Topics:
So, why wait? Jump in to make sure your payroll practices are up-to-date and legally watertight. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll dodge FLSA pitfalls and keep things running smoothly.
