Webinar Description
A high salary doesn’t automatically make an employee exempt in California, and neither does a fancy job title. California and federal rules on classifying an employee as exempt are tricky and often misunderstood.
Classification mistakes are highly litigated and extremely costly for employers. Misclassify an employee as exempt and you could face a back-pay nightmare and severe penalties for failing to pay overtime as well as failing to provide meal and rest breaks.
“Some of the largest multimillion-dollar awards of back pay by the courts result from employers misclassifying nonexempt employees as exempt from overtime," says Erika Frank, webinar co-presenter and CalChamber executive vice president, legal affairs. “Always assume employees are nonexempt unless they clearly meet the salary and job duties tests of an exempt position.”
