Why You Should Purchase this CD:
For years, employers have argued that the federal rules for determining who is and who is not an "exempt" employee are outdated and desperately in need of revision.  The day of change has finally arrived.

These new rules discuss who must be paid overtime and will affect virtually every employer in the country.  The good news is that in most cases the regulations will make human resource professionals' jobs much easier.  To take advantage of these new rules, however, you have to understand them - and in detail.  This program was conducted to explain these important regulations to you.  You and your Legal, Human Resources, and Employee Benefits team will learn:

• What is the new minimum salary level test for qualifying for the overtime exemption?  What compensation is included/excluded in calculating an employee's "salary"?
• What are the new "job duties" tests for administrative, professional and executive employees?  What duties must a worker possess to qualify as "exempt"?  How will these new tests apply to specific occupations such as managers/assistant managers, office workers, health care employees, computer occupations such as outside sales workers and "professional" jobs?
• How will the "position of responsibility" requirement impact the exempt status of administrative employees?
• How will the new "highly compensated employee" exemption work in practice/  What compensation is included/excluded in determining whether an employee falls within this category?  How do bonuses, gainsharing and other incentive based compensations affect the analysis?
• What are the new rules for the "salary basis" test?  How will these new rules affect "collective action" lawsuits for misclassification of employee overtime status?
• How will the new "window of connection" rules protect employers from liability?
