FAQ - What is the difference between exempt and non-exempt and when am I required to pay overtime?

We help you reduce your employment practice liability risk in several important ways.

Well-constructed HR documents are a good first step toward protecting your company. You must also make sure that your actual practices are consistent with written policies and procedures. We can help you to identify and address specific HR issues before (or after) they become obstacles to your company's success.

Employment Practice Risk Assessment

This focused review supports your HR improvement efforts and identifies potential vulnerabilities. During this review, we evaluate related information associated with the following human resource activities: recruitment and selection; employee guidelines, orientation, and training; supervisory guidelines, training, and practices; compensation and benefits; performance appraisal; employee problem solving; discipline; termination; and employee files/record keeping/HRIS.

We provide you with a written summary of findings and conclusions and detailed recommendations to address the areas of concern. We also meet with you to respond to questions and discuss implementation strategies.

FLSA Classification Evaluation

The purpose of this evaluation is to confirm that each of your positions is correctly classified as exempt or non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended. The determination of exempt and non-exempt classification is based on the actual duties of a position, not its title or description. If your job descriptions are not current, accurate, and complete, we can help you to update them.
