JUNE 24, 2016

It is estimated that up to 70% of all employers are unknowingly violating the latest Wage & Hour Law updates,* effective December 1, 2016. The change gives business owners limited time to adjust employee compensation as required to avoid repercussions from disgruntled employees, the law, and/or their bank account.

That’s why we brought in HR Attorney Julie Young to share the major changes, why they affect you as a business owner, and how to prep your business.

Below are Julie’s ‘Top 5 Wage & Hour Mistakes’ from the event to ensure all business owners have all their ducks in a row before the changes hit.

Misclassification of Employees |Who’s exempt vs. non-exempt?

Misclassification of Independent Contractors |They could be considered an employee under the law!

Not Capturing & Including all Hours Worked |How many of your employees check their work email on their smartphone over the weekend?..

Failing to Pay Minimum Wage |Especially to commissioned or fee-based employees.

If you have any questions or need additional information, feel free to ask the Gerber team or reach out to Julie Young at Worley Law.
