Summary of Program

Wage and hour lawsuits and claims filed with the Department of Labor and the California Labor Commissioner continue to plague California employers. Often employers are sued because of technical violations that occur simply because the employer is unaware of its legal obligations. Other times, employers make the mistake of treating an employee as exempt from Wage Orders and Labor Code laws, when in fact the employee does not qualify.

This seminar will help employers understand and comply with wage and hour laws in California. In addition, this seminar will help employers, HR professionals, supervisors, and payroll managers gain a more thorough understanding of the various exemptions available under California law and learn how to conduct a legally strong exemption analysis.

Program Highlights:
• “Actual hours worked” and problems with “off the clock” work
• Overtime: What is and is not included in the “regular rate” of pay?
• Reporting time pay/split shift premiums
• Meal periods and rest breaks
• Travel time and compensatory time off
• “Flex-time” and “alternative work” schedules
• PAGA Claims/Class Claims
• What actually needs to be on the pay stub
• Employee Classifications
o A discussion of the exemptions available
o Checklists for determining if your employees are properly classified as exempt
o How to conduct a self-audit
o What to do if your employees may have been misclassified.
• What are the courts saying? – Highlights of recent decisions regarding wage and hour laws

Approved for three (3) hours MCLE. This program will be submitted to the HR Certification Institute for review. Certificates will be provided upon verification of attendance for the entirety of the webcast.
