Duration: 90 Minutes
Category: Human Resources
Type: Recorded Webinar

Description

Although the rules on exempt vs non-exempt employees have changed a few times in the past 10 years, overtime worked is, and has always been, overtime earned. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.

But 1.5 times a worker's hourly pay rate is just the start of calculating overtime earned. This course is designed as a refresher on what hours and payments are considered when calculating overtime pay.

Why you should Attend:

THE DOL issued its new Final Rule on meat workers. The Rule increases salary thresholds for all employees considered exempt from overtime. Learn exactly what the new amounts are and other information from the Rule.

If your employee works more than 40 hours a week (or over 8 hours a day in some states,- they have earned overtime at least 1.5 times their hourly rate of pay (HRP). Do you know all types of payments that carry an overtime premium? If not, Join Mark Schwartz in this informative webinar designed for the seasoned payroll professional to properly analyze overtime regulation compliance and help their CFO properly budget payroll expenses.

You will also find the answers to the following questions and more:

  • What hours worked qualify for paid wages, and which don't? Which are eligible for overtime premiums, and which don't
  • What fringe benefits and supplemental payments should be counted toward the hourly pay rate?
