| The New Overtime Rules: How to Comply  The long-awaited (and long-feared) changes to federal overtime law take effect in just over 2 months—and they promise to have a dramatic effect on the way you pay, classify and manage your employees. Is your organization ready to comply?
Don't get caught flat-footed by the U.S. Department of Labor's highly controversial rewrite of the overtime exemption rules. A hefty increase in the salary threshold (jumping from $23,660 to $47,476 per year) means millions more employees will become eligible for overtime. On Wednesday, October 5, join attorney Anniken Davenport for a clear explanation of these rules, plus practical advice on how your organization should respond and prepare right now.  The first 100 people to register will receive our special report, The 2016 Overtime Rules: How to Comply. It breaks down the new regulations into plain English and includes handy exemption checklists and tests to help you decipher who is eligible for overtime under the new rules.
When the DOL last tried to revise the FLSA exemption regulations in 2004, overtime lawsuits exploded nationwide (see chart). Experts say that trend is likely to continue when the complex new FLSA regulations take effect this summer. On October 5, you'll learn the nuts and bolts of the new rules plus answers to strategic questions like: - Should you convert exempt workers to hourly status rather than pay increased weekly base salary?
- How should you deal with new exempt classification rules?
- When should you add bonuses and other incentives to base pay to meet new minimum weekly base salary… and what does the new 10% rule mean?
- Should you lower the hourly equivalent rates of pay for formerly exempt workers to make up for new overtime hours?
- How do the new rules specifically impact nonprofits and educational institutions?
- Should you rewrite your job descriptions? If so, how?
- Should you hire part-time employees in lieu of paying full-time workers overtime?
- Are you prepared for increased recordkeeping?
- If you convert exempt workers to hourly, how do you stop them from putting in extra hours (checking email, working at home) now that their status has changed?
- How will more hourly positions impact your recruiting efforts — can you hire more professional independent contractors to perform exempt work at lower rates?
Plus, you'll have the opportunity to ask Anniken your own questions about these complex, confusing new rules. Your executive team will expect you to understand what the DOL rules say, what they mean and how your organization should respond. On October 5, learn how to comply with these all-important overtime rules and restructure your wages in the most legally safe and financially sound way. Sincerely,
Pat DiDomenico, Editorial Director
