The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 covers wage and hour questions faced by every employer:

         - How much do I have to pay my employees?
         - How many hours can my employees work?
         - When do I have to pay my employees overtime?
         - What employees are “exempt” from overtime pay?

Employers and managers must understand the often-complex provisions of the FLSA in order to answer these questions correctly.

And answering these questions incorrectly can be very costly. The FLSA is enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor and it contains extensive penalty provisions including payment of "double" damages for willful violations as well as payment of the prevailing attorney’s fees. As a result, even a single claim can be worth tens of thousands of dollars in potential liability.

Given the importance and complexity of the FLSA, you need an expert to train your managers and supervisors. The presenter for 21st Learn’s online FLSA training is Chuck Passaglia. Chuck is an employment law attorney with more than a decade’s experience advising, counseling and representing hundreds of employers in human resources and employment law matters. He has presented over 400 classes, seminars and lectures to employers, non-profit organizations and human resources groups.

21st Learn’s technology will put your users in charge of the presentation with a control panel that works like the DVD player in your home. In addition, our technology offers the ability to monitor which employees have viewed the presentation. To further measure your employees’ understanding of the material, there is an online test to be taken both before and after the presentation. The results of those tests are also available to you to check.
