New Overtime Rules: A Legal Perspective – Webinar!
February 12, 2020 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
2020 is ushering in new rules on the federal and state levels covering employees who are exempt from minimum wage and overtime pay. Generally, employees must be paid minimum wage and receive overtime pay, but certain “white collar” employees (bona fide executive, administrative, professional, or outside sales employees) are exempt from those rules if they meet a minimum salary level and certain job duties tests. Both the federal and state labor agencies have made changes to the exempt employee rules that will be effective in 2020. Nonprofit and microenterprise employers may be impacted by the new rules.
Learning Outcomes
Attendees will be able to describe the difference between “exempt” and “non-exempt” employees, explain the threshold levels and job duties test, and accurately classify employees.
You will learn:
- The definition of exempt and non-exempt employees;
- How to correctly classify your employees;
- The overtime rules that apply to your employees;
- And more!
Who Should Attend
This training is intended for boards, management, and staff members of nonprofits with employees.
