Overtime compliance continues to be an area where seemingly small mistakes can create significant liability. While federal salary threshold changes have received considerable attention in recent years, employers shouldn't lose sight of the fundamentals.
Proper classification involves more than whether an employee is paid a salary. Employers should regularly review job duties, pay practices, timekeeping procedures, and how work is actually being performed.
Common risks include:
- Misclassifying employees based on job title or outdated assumptions
- Failing to review whether employees actually meet the applicable exemption requirements
- Managers allowing or overlooking off-the-clock work
- Incomplete or inconsistent timekeeping records
- Making classification decisions reactively rather than reviewing them proactively
