Overtime, Exemptions, and Regulatory Whiplash: Staying Compliant Amid Change

On-Demand Recording

75 minutes | INSTRUCTOR-LED TRAINING

Program Summary

In this 75-minute instructor-led program, we address the confusion employers face as overtime rules change, pause, or face legal challenges. Many organizations froze decisions waiting for clarity, only to find themselves exposed when enforcement continued under older standards.

This session focuses on stability in an unstable environment. You will learn how to make defensible classification decisions, communicate changes without damaging morale, and create documentation that holds up even when the rules are in flux.

You will learn:

  • How to evaluate exempt status when regulations are unsettled
  • Documentation practices that protect classification decisions
  • Common overtime mistakes that lead to audits and lawsuits
  • How to prepare for future salary threshold changes
