Description

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) remains one of the most misunderstood—and most heavily enforced—federal labor laws. In 2026, evolving workplace dynamics like remote work, hybrid models, and gig employment are exposing critical FLSA compliance gaps even in the most experienced HR departments.

If you're still relying on outdated exemption rules or making assumptions about pay structures, you could be facing major penalties. In this timely and fast-paced 60-minute webinar, we’ll reveal the biggest mistakes employers are making right now—and exactly how to fix them before auditors come knocking.


What You Will Learn:

This practical, actionable session will help HR leaders, payroll teams, and compliance professionals understand:

  • Misclassification risks for remote, hybrid, gig, and contract workers
  • What still counts as off-the-clock work in a virtual workplace
  • Overtime calculation errors that trigger audits
  • Digital and policy strategies to document wage & hour compliance
  • The FLSA pitfalls employers commonly overlook in hybrid environments

Whether you're handling classification, payroll, or compliance, this training will help you close the gaps and minimize legal exposure.


Why You Should Attend:

Because “We didn’t know” isn’t a valid defense—and DOL audits are back in full swing.

  • FLSA enforcement is increasing again. This session will help you:
  • Spot outdated practices that could lead to fines
  • Update internal policies and time-tracking for remote staff
  • Understand how to audit your own pay and classification practices
  • Gain confidence that your HR and payroll teams are in compliance

Who Should Attend:

  • HR Professionals & Compliance Officers
