January 2014 Monthly Topic- 5 Stickiest Wage & Hour Issues

The topic this month focuses on identifying five of the stickiest Wage & Hour issues that employers face under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

FLSA class actions are up approximately 70% since 2000 and more than half of all the FLSA lawsuites being filed in Federal courts nationwide are being filed in Florida.

Some of these issues covered include:

• Correctly Classifying Nonexempt vs Exempt employees
• Permissible vs Impermissible Deductions from employee pay
• Correctly compensating employees for ALL hours worked
• Calculating overtime for nonexempt employees
• How to properly implement any pay changes
