Understanding Your Wage & Hour Obligations as an Employer
Maintaining lawful wage and hour practices involves far more than generating accurate paychecks. Employers must evaluate how personnel are classified, how working hours are tracked, and whether compensation systems satisfy federal, state, and municipal mandates.
Reviewing Employee Classification & Compensation
Misclassifying an employee as exempt from overtime or engaging a worker as an independent contractor creates substantial legal exposure. Your management should periodically review actual daily duties, compensation thresholds, and supervisory control instead of relying solely on written agreements or job titles.
Compensation calculations also call for regular evaluation, including overtime premiums, meal break penalties, and the accurate calculation of the regular rate of pay when non-discretionary bonuses or commissions are paid.
