How to Conduct an FLSA Classification Self-Audit

Why Should You Attend:

Many seminars, webinars and conference breakout sessions explain what the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) rules are for classifying employees as being exempt or non-exempt from overtime pay without describing how to implement them.

This webinar will both identify FLSA areas that are the subject of current Wage and Hour Division, Department of Labor (WHD) enforcement efforts and, more importantly, what to do about them. This course will teach you how to undertake a voluntary self-audit of your organization’s pay practices to determine if employees have been properly classified as being either “exempt” or “nonexempt”; and, what to do when employees have been misclassified. Attendees will also learn how to, where appropriate, implement the fluctuating workweek method of wage calculation in light of the Department of Labor’s Final Rule on wage calculation methodologies.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• List the pay practice areas WHD is currently focusing its enforcement efforts on
• Identify the interface between the salary test and the duties test
• Define exempt classifications including executive, administrative, learned professional, creative professional, highly compensated, computer and outside sales
• Undertake a voluntary self-audit of pay practices to determine if employees have been properly classified as being either “exempt” or “nonexempt” from the overtime provisions of the FLSA
• Bonus: Job aid detailing step-by-step actions to take while engaging in a voluntary self-audit
• Justify through proper documentation “exempt” versus “nonexempt” classifications
• Implement, where appropriate, the fluctuating workweek method of wage calculation in light of the Department of Labor’s Final Rule on wage calculation methodologies
