Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (Wage & Hour) Audits: The last several years have seen much angst over wage and hour administration, particularly as you try to determine if an employee should be classified as exempt or non-exempt. We were on and off again in 2016, then again in 2024. Since January 1, 2020, we have been working with the then-new “white collar” or EAP regulations.

Ms. Walters has presented to overflow audiences on this topic. In 2016 and 2017, Ms. Walters testified before U.S. Congressional Committees regarding these regulatory changes. But employers need to consider more than just the federal rules. As of this writing, there are at least 19 states that have their own “white-collar” regulations, which in most cases are stricter than the federal rules and require their own analysis for proper exempt classification.

Are your exempt employees properly classified under federal and state laws and regulations? Are your payroll procedures, paid leave practices, bonus compensation plans, wage payments, deductions and more all administered in compliance with these federal, state and local laws and regulations? For your non-exempt as well exempt employees? Contact FiveL today for more information about wage and hour compliance reviews, pricing, and methodology.
