Navigating FLSA Exemptions Today and in the Future

Are your “Exempt” employees actually exempt? Are you sure? Learn best practices for complying with the DOL’s latest Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) changes. We will cover salary exemption levels as well as issues related to the “duties” part of exemptions. We will also cover the latest updates on non-compete agreements. Think you’re off the hook since the FTC’s ban was struck down? Not so quickly! The rule may be gone for now, but it left a mess in its wake. Is your business properly protected? 

Learning Objectives

  • Learn how to properly classify your workers as employees and avoid misclassification penalties and fines.
  • Understand the recent changes in the FLSA exemption categories and salary requirements, and how they affect your employees and payroll.
  • Anticipate the potential changes in the FLSA in 2025 and beyond, and how to prepare for them.
  • Understand the impact of the injunction blocking FTC’s non-compete ban on your business.
  • Understand issues impacting employers who utilize restrictive covenant agreements.
