What you need to know about the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

A workshop for Business Professionals Concerned about how the FLSA and its impact on your business.

One of the most misunderstood and incredibly difficult to define laws in place for employers is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which legally mandates us to perform certain tasks including paying certain employees overtime when they work over 40 hours a week (and in some cases OT when more than 8 hours is worked in a day). Consider this: If three (3) auditors from the Department of Labor came to audit your pay practices, it is virtually a certainty that they would come to different decisions on your level of compliance with this confusing and sometimes ambiguous law. So if they don’t know the rules of the game… how are you supposed to know?

Attend our workshop and we’ll open your eyes and explain this critical law.
