California employers must follow numerous wage and hour laws. For example, nonexempt or “hourly” employees must be paid for all hours worked, including overtime paid at the employee’s “regular rate of pay,” which isn’t necessarily the same as their hourly rate. Having exempt employees — who are exempted from many wage and hour requirements — seems easier for handling these wage and hour issues but incorrectly classifying an employee as exempt is a top source of litigation between employees and employers. CalChamber’s upcoming webinars — Wage & Hour Essentials: Laws for Nonexempt Employees and Wage & Hour Essentials: Exempt Employee Requirements on Thursday, July 25 and Friday, July 26, respectively — can help employers understand these challenging wage and hour requirements.
Additionally, California’s new Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) reform measures allow employers to take reasonable steps towards wage and hour compliance, which can significantly reduce potential penalties attached to these claims. These Wage & Hour Essentials webinars can assist employers in understanding their California wage and hour requirements, and both are included in CalChamber’s PAGA Wage and Hour Compliance Toolkit — along with this week’s PAGA Reform: What to Know and Do to Protect Your Organization webinar.
These Wage & Hour Essentials webinars are ideal for HR professionals, legal/employment law counsel, office managers, business owners, and anyone with responsibility for managing and paying nonexempt and/or exempt employees in California.
