This online webinar concentrates on federal and state wage and hour requirements that must be followed in the payroll department. Areas of discussion include calculating overtime, travel time, minimum wage, posting requirements, meal and rest periods, how often an employee must be paid, and by what method, and paying terminated employees.
In this online CPE webinar, we will discuss the wage and hour laws that apply to paying employees on the federal and state level. We start with defining the crucial elements of wage and hour law including what is work week is, a work day, and hours worked, and how the hours must be tracked or accounted for. From this basis, we first discuss not only the rules for calculating overtime but the effects that other payments have on overtime including discretionary and nondiscretionary bonuses and commissions. We then work through examples of calculating overtime correctly using both the FLSA method and the alternate (or commonly understood) method as well as what to do if the employee is working at two or more rates. We will discuss the minimum wage and how it can be different on the state or the federal level and what can be used as a credit against it by the employer. But federal law does not cover all aspects of paying employees. For this we need to concentrate on state laws in the areas of paid family leave, mandatory sick leave, meal and rest periods, pay stubs and notices, how often employees must be paid, acceptable methods that may be used to pay employees, and handling terminating employees including vacation pay-outs. We conclude with our section on what can be legally deducted from the employee’s wages.

PS
This 2 hour webinar had so much content and probably 80% of it would be new to most of us. The presenter really hit the high points and provided a lot of good slides that can be used for further reference. There was a lot of new information for me.
DM
I am new to taking over the payroll after a few years of not doing payroll. This really helped answer the questions I ahd about how states are different. The non-discretionary bonus was a great example.
