The purpose of this one-hour course is to provide an overview of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (FLSA) Deciding whether an employee is hired on a salary or hourly basis requires more thought than most employers know. The misconceptions and misunderstanding of this act have led to thousands of dollars being assessed to large and small businesses and sometimes lead to their financial downfall. This course should prevent this by providing enough information for the employer to make wise decisions.
