Avoiding
Inadvertent Mistakes and Land Mines
Once
you have a salaried employee classified as exempt from overtime, you don’t
want to un-do it and make a mistake which turns that exempt salaried
employee into a non-exempt worker. Employers make mistakes which undermine
the status and cause liability for the employer.
The
Department of Labor changed the rules for salaried-exempt employees and
then put them on hold. Employers made major efforts to examine, adjust and
properly classify exempt positions. Then some revised and changed back
again, or are still in flux.
HOWEVER,
that is just the starting point. The major liability comes after having
properly established a position as salaried, and then losing the exemption
by careless practices or unwitting treatment of those positions. Improper
deductions, salary alterations, time off, discipline and more can result in
loss of the salaried-exemption for one person, or for all your salaried
positions, and cause millions in liability. The Fair Labor Standards Act
can impose that liability not just on the organization, but personally
against the assets of supervisors, HR managers, CFOs, CEOs, and board
members.
Focusing
on only the salary basis requirements can be a big mistake. One must also
preserve and protect the salaried status once it has been properly
established.

interactivity and visual presentation of the internet. All you need to
