Nonexempt or “hourly” employees must be paid for all hours worked. But what if a nonexempt employee answers a work text after hours? Or skips a break during a busy shift? Plus, any overtime paid to nonexempt employees is at their “regular rate of pay,” which isn’t necessarily the same as their hourly rate. Understanding and complying with California’s wage-and-hour laws can be challenging and are one of the leading causes of liability for employers — so missteps can be costly. On Thursday, May 21, CalChamber’s Wage & Hour 101: Nonexempt/Hourly Employees webinar can help employers understand these challenging wage and hour requirements
CalChamber’s employment law experts can help employers understand these laws with a deep dive into key wage-and-hour issues affecting nonexempt employees in California, including:
- Minimum wage and overtime requirements.
- Properly tracking and paying employees for all hours worked, including travel time.
- Meal and rest period compliance.
- Form and timing requirements for paying employees, including final pay.
- Reimbursing business expenses, including cell phone use.
- Real-world scenarios, practical examples and best practices for compliance.
This Wage & Hour 101 webinar is ideal for HR professionals, legal/employment law counsel, office managers, business owners and anyone responsible for managing and paying nonexempt employees in California.
