Description

Over time seems easy—work over 40 hours, pay time-and-a-half, right? Not quite. Hidden beneath this surface lies a maze of legal definitions, calculation rules, and exceptions. With updated Department of Labor (DOL) regulations going into effect January 1, 2025, the risks of getting it wrong are higher than ever. In FY 2021 alone, the DOL recovered $138 million in unpaid overtime.

Could your business be next? This engaging and practical course breaks down the complex rules of overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). You’ll learn how to compute the elusive "regular rate of pay," account for bonuses and commissions, and apply overtime premiums correctly—even when payments stretch across weeks. You’ll also explore common compliance traps and state-level risks that could double your penalties.

Learning Objectives:-

• Identify what qualifies as overtime under FLSA regulations.
• Explain the impact of the Portal-to-Portal Act on overtime.
