Public Employer's Guide To FLSA Employee Classification

Ensuring that your public employees are properly classified under the Fair Labor Standards Act does not have to be a burdensome and dangerous challenge. Our one-volume, user-friendly guide, Public Employers Guide to FLSA Employee Classification, is designed to enable you to make classification decisions regarding your employees in accordance with the FLSA and other relevant federal laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The Guide explains the executive, administrative, professional and other exemptions to the FLSA in detail. FLSA attorneys and human resources professionals have provided information on state and federal overtime, minimum wage and recordkeeping requirements, as well as the relationship between the FLSA and state labor standards. The Guide also discusses the legal standards for proving exemptions and offers practical guidance for minimizing damages and finding speedy remedies for a misclassification. Subscribers find the sample classification specifications for many public sector positions especially helpful, along with the guidance on conducting classification reviews.

Bimonthly news bulletins and updates to the Guide will keep you current with the latest DOL and IRS rulings, court cases and congressional activity, as well as provide insight into specific job classifications.

The only source to focus exclusively on public sector personnel classification requirements.
