Now more than ever, medical offices are being targeted by employees claiming they were not properly paid overtime. Lawsuits and Department of Labor investigations for wage and hour violations pose huge risks for employers, and many practices are facing considerable liability as they have been improperly treating employees as exempt from the overtime requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act. This session will offer guidance in applying the major exemptions that apply to many medical practices under the FLSA, helping administrators reduce their exposure to expensive wage and hour claims.
