On April 5, 2011, the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor published its final amendments to regulations interpreting the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) and the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947. The final amendments are effective on May 5, 2011.
The final amendments contain significant changes to tip credit regulations that require employers relying on these regulations and the pay methods set forth therein to take immediate action. Similarly, employers who implement fluctuating workweek compensation programs will find that the final amendments may call for immediate changes to their compensation programs.
This program will highlight the most pressing compliance issues under the final amendments for employers and provide practical recommendations for handling those issues. Some of the key topics to be addressed include:
- Tip Credit Regulation Changes
- Practical Recommendations for Complying with the Tip Credit Regulation Changes
- The DOL's Abandonment of Proposed Fluctuating Workweek Amendments and the Impact on Fluctuating Workweek Programs
- Practical Recommendations for Employers Who Utilize a Fluctuating Workweek Compensation System
- The DOL's Abandonment of the Proposed Amendments to the Automobile Dealership Exemption
- An Overview of Additional Provisions of the Final Amendments
