Overview:

The most important thing to your employees is their paychecks. If those aren't right, you'll have a very unhappy staff. And you can have the government come down on you!

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) explains how you need to pay your employees. It's been the law since 1938, so you'd think it would be easy to understand, but times have changed and the law hasn't caught up.

This webinar will give you a basic understanding of how to keep your employees paid properly and legally!

This is a brief overview of how to proceed and is not legal advice.

Why you should Attend:

If you want to keep the Department of Labor from knocking at your door, you should understand the basics of FLSA. Knowing the legal requirements for paying your employees can save you headaches and literally millions of dollars in back-pay lawsuits.
