Improperly classifying an employee as exempt can open the flood gates of litigation risks. It's not always clear which employees should be exempt and which should not. What does "independent discretionary decision-making" mean? When is it okay to make deductions from an exempt employee's salary?
In this webinar, participants will learn:
- What it means to be exempt
- Mandatory criteria for exempt classifications
- How to address the "gray area" between exempt and non-exempt status
- Who is specifically excluded from exempt status
- The penalties and other costs associated with misclassification
