Description

Wage and hour compliance involves far more than simply calculating overtime pay. Employers must navigate complex federal and state laws governing overtime, minimum wage, hours worked, meal and rest periods, paid leave, payroll frequencies, paystub requirements, direct deposit rules, termination payments, wage deductions, and employee compensation practices. Failure to properly apply these requirements can result in significant penalties, wage claims, compliance violations, and employee disputes.

This session will examine the key wage and hour rules that apply to employee compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and various state laws. Participants will explore overtime calculations using both the FLSA and alternative methods, the impact of bonuses, commissions, multiple pay rates, and regular rate calculations, as well as federal and state minimum wage requirements, tip credits, meal and rest period obligations, pay frequency rules, paystub requirements, direct deposit regulations, and handling terminated employees.
