Exempt and Non-Exempt Employees--Are You Sure They Are Properly Classified?

The U.S. Department of Labor and private litigants continue their assault on employers who may be incorrectly treating non-exempt employees as exempt.  These cases and investigations should cause employers to reexamine their classification procedures and make sure that their executive, administrative, professional, computer and sales staff are being properly compensated.

Now is the time to make sure you are in compliance by doing a thorough review and correcting all potential violations within your workforce.

This 90-minute interactive webinar will teach you how to conduct a thorough review, how to identify potential violations, how to come into compliance, how to make systemic corrections that will reduce future problems and how to lessen the risk of costly lawsuits and enforcement actions.
