HR Works program prepares employers to comply with new Fair Labor Standards Act regulation

The Department of Labor’s recent announcement of final changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act will affect pay practices at millions of U.S. organizations beginning Aug.23.

These final rules represent the DOL’s efforts to clarify and update the half-century-old federal regulations defining the FLSA’s "white collar" exemptions. The new rules clarify the definitions of bona fide exempt employees under the executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer software employee exemptions.

While advocates contend that clarified classifications will bring new overtime benefits to millions of employees such as licensed practical nurses and engineering technicians, opponents argue that millions of workers will be negatively impacted by reclassification and ineligibility for overtime pay.

Regardless of one’s opinion of the legislation, employers must begin now to evaluate the impact on their current wage-and-hour practices and prepare an implementation plan. To assist employers, HR Works, Inc., is presenting: “Preparing for the New FLSA Regulations: Will Your Company Be Ready ?” on Monday, May 17, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Lodge at Woodcliff in Perinton. The fee is $25 per person, including continental breakfast.

HR Works’ experts will team with Michael Hausknecht, partner at Nixon Peabody LLP, to discuss:

• The impact of the new rules on current pay practices and business.
• An overview of how the new regulations differ from the existing rules.
• Actions that employers can take in order to comply with the changes.

Guests will receive a complimentary “mini audit” for wage and hour practices.
