Even if you dot your I’s and cross your t’s, you still could be unintentionally misclassifying employees. The DOL has been cracking down on law-breaking companies and well-intentioned companies alike, even for the smallest mistakes.

Attend this straight-talk 60-minute conference conducted by an expert employment law attorney, Edward Bergmann, and you’ll learn how to avoid the misclassification trap.

Learning Objectives:-

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How to classify tricky job types like analysts, specialists, coordinators, executive assistants, and IT employees
• Who the DOL says is supervising who for purposes of the executive exemption
• How to draft, reexamine and manage job descriptions -- which are often an employer’s worst enemy in court -- from a classification perspective
• The salary basis test and steps you can take to avoid compliance issues
• Why we see so much litigation now, and likely even more in the future – and what you can do to stay out of court for misclassification
• How to handle situations where an employee is supervised by multiple bosses.

Why Should You Attend?

The DOL actively seeks out employers who misclassify workers. Though they catch some law-breaking companies, they also nab well-intentioned companies that unknowingly violate overtime laws, which can be very tricky.

In this webinar, Edward Bergmann will lay out a detailed overview of the white-collar exemptions, providing specific, practical examples of how they’re applied.

The course will highlight the “hot spots” -- those areas where employers are prone to make classification mistakes and offer advice for conducting internal self-audits (before the DOL does).
