New DOL Overtime Exemption Rules and Independent Contractor Guidance
Instructor: Ronald Adler
Product ID: 501013
Description
This topic provides an update on the Department of Labor’s recent proposal on increasing the minimum wage and other critical issues and guidelines on independent contractors.
Who is an employee and how much should he or she be paid are critical issues for both individuals and their employers. Thus the first question that is normally addressed is: “Is this new individual in our organization an employee or an independent contractor?” While historically most individuals would have been treated as employees, this is now changing; more individuals are now considered as independent contractors. Is this proper? What criteria should be used by employers in making this decision?
Areas Covered
Review of the current standards for minimum wages, overtime pay, recordkeeping
Review of the FLSA current overtime pay and minimum wage provisions
Proposed new minimum wage standards
Review of the Act’s current provisions on independent contractors
DOL’s recent guidelines on independent contractors
Minimum wage and independent contractors at the state level
Auditing your organization’s wage and hour practices and procedures
Why Should you Attend
Once the employer determines the status of the new individual, the employer must determine whether the new employee is “non-exempt” or “exempt”. Under current rules, most employees are considered to be non-exempt and must be paid at least the minimum wage, which is federally $7.25 an hour; more in a number of states and local jurisdictions. What are the proposed DOL overtime requirements? How will they affect your organization?
These issues affect organizations. First, they affect how organizations are organized and often how services are provided. Second, they impact how organizations priced their services and how much they paid their employees or contractors.
