ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Wage and hour compliance can get complicated quickly — and getting employee classifications wrong can be costly.
In this episode of Ground Rules, Pam Howland, Jennifer Walrath, and Doug Plass break down what employers need to know about exempt and non-exempt employees, including the most common white-collar exemptions, salary and duties tests, timekeeping requirements, and the risks that come with misclassification.
They also discuss what employers can do now to review their practices, where common wage-and-hour trouble spots arise, and why it is much better to identify a potential issue before a Department of Labor audit or lawsuit brings it to your attention.
If it has been a while since you reviewed your employee classifications, this episode is a good place to start.
