Calculating Overtime Correctly: Comply with FLSA and Avoid Wage-and-Hour Violations

Course Description:

The DOL collected $120,500,820 in back wages for overtime violations in 2006.  A single violation could cost you up to $10,000 in fines.  A second conviction, imprisonment and if you wind up in a civil suit it could cost you millions!  Ask yourself, can you really afford even one incorrect calculation?

But calculating overtime is simple, right? It’s just time and a half!

Not so fast.  Overtime is based on the regular rate of pay, and calculating the regular rate of pay is more complex than it appears.  There’s the reasonable cost of meals, lodging, nondiscretionary bonuses, on-call pay, shift differentials, cash benefit payments from Section 125 Cafeteria Plans, the list goes on…

And that’s just the regular rate – we haven’t even touched overtime yet! Overwhelmed?

Join CCM and payroll expert Vicki Lambert in this invaluable audio conference to learn how to calculate overtime payments correctly – the first time and every time!  In just 75 minutes, you’ll find out:

• How to calculate the regular rate of pay
• The eight narrowly construed exceptions to inclusion of payments in the regular rate
• When you must include a bonus in calculating your employee’s overtime pay
• How to handle overtime calculations once you've determined that a bonus qualifies as includable wages
• How to calculate the overtime premium
• When and how to use the “fluctuating workweek” method
