How to Classify Employee Status | Exempt vs Non-Exempt

In this episode of Culture & Compliance, Matt dives into the critical topic of employee classification under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). He breaks down the distinctions between exempt and non-exempt employees, explains the history and purpose of the FLSA, and discusses high-profile cases that highlight the consequences of improper classification.
Join Matt as he covers the following and more:
• Key criteria for exempt vs. non-exempt status
• Common misclassification pitfalls
• The impact of upcoming changes to salary thresholds
• Practical steps to ensure compliance and avoid costly mistakes
Three Takeaways:
1. Understanding the two-part test: salary and duties are crucial for proper classification.

Upcoming changes in salary thresholds could affect your current classifications.
3. Tune in to stay informed and ensure your organization remains compliant!
