Chamber U Seminar - November 2nd - Overtime Rules
Chamber U Seminar - Are You Prepared for the December 1 Revised Overtime Exemption Rule?
Do you have employees that you classify as Exempt?  If so, have you analyzed your workforce to determine if you will be in compliance with the new Exemption Rule enacted by the Department of Labor? 

NOW IS THE TIME to figure out if you are in compliance and if not, to make changes to bring your workforce into compliance prior to the December 1, 2016 effective date of the new rules.  There are significant risks to non-compliance, including two to three years of back overtime, doubled, for misclassified employees, as well as fines.
 
Please join local labor and employment attorney Laura Dinon, of Plunkett Cooney, as she provides in depth analysis of the new FLSA overtime/exemption regulation provisions and practical tips on how to prepare for the changes.
 
The Seminar is Wednesday, November 2 at 8:00-9:30 am at Odawa Hotel.  The cost is $25 and includes breakfast. Please click here to register or call 347-4150.
