About this Event
Exempt Employees: Mastering the 2025 Changes and Compliance
In this webinar, we will explore the four classifications of exempt employees under Department of Labor rules: executive, administrative, professional, and outside sales. We will cover the salary level test, including how bonuses can be used to meet salary requirements, and the salary basis test. Additionally, we'll discuss which deductions are permissible from an exempt employee’s salary and the potential penalties for improper deductions that violate the salary basis test.
Improper exempt employee classification and non-compliance with regulations can lead to significant back pay awards and fines. These penalties apply to all employees in the same job classification under the same manager, not just the one improperly paid employee. It is essential for payroll professionals to understand these regulations and ensure proper classification and payment of exempt employees to avoid costly penalties.
