Why? * Employee wage-and-hour lawsuits have exploded nationwide, up 400% in the past 15 years, fueled by new rules and bad recordkeeping. _(see chart)_ * While Obama's proposed overtime salary threshold is dead, the threshold is still likely to increase in the next year or two. The new DOL chief supports a $10K increase to about $33,000. * All the recent media talk about overtime and pay discrimination has generated more employee interest (and lawsuits) about their right to overtime pay and their status (exempt vs. nonexempt? Independent contractor vs employee?). * A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling gives you fresh incentive to keep immaculate time records (employees can now use "sampling" to justify timekeeping lawsuits). * The outgoing Obama administration poured millions of additional DOL budget dollars into increased wage-and-hour enforcement, which means beefed-up workplace scrutiny. The Trump administration has not rescinded these enforcement initiatives. * The IRS got more money, too – and it hired 700 new enforcement agents who will mostly be tasked with payroll audits. Why? Because that's where the easy money is. On Thursday, April 5, join payroll expert Alice Gilman, Esq., the editor of _Payroll Legal Alert_, for our timely webinar, _Timekeeping & Payroll Recordkeeping: Legal Compliance for 2018_. You'll discover: * What the DOL and IRS look for in your time and pay records – and how to minimize the damage (and liability) of your mistakes. * The best practices in tracking time (paper? electronic?) for different types of employees – exempt/nonexempts, telecommuters, etc. * The one common misstep in correcting employees' time records that will make you a DOL target. * How to legally respond when time records are missing, inaccurate or incomplete. * How to spot errors in your timekeeping, including the 3 most common causes of unpaid working time and the 2 FLSA safe harbors that can save you. * Which are the vital tax records you must keep. (Hint: it's more than just copies of tax forms you've already filed.) * The legally safe way to track time for exempt employees. (Too much or too little gets you in trouble.) * How to set up a timekeeping system for employees who work at home. * Plus, answers to all your own questions about timekeeping and recordkeeping from a payroll superlawyer. The Bottom Line: All tax and wage & hour audits depend on the quality of your records. Bad records will sink you every time. And while it's more important than ever to stay in compliance, it's also more complex. On April 5, let Alice explain in plain English how you can master this core HR responsibility – and keep your organization out of court.

Timekeeping & Payroll Recordkeeping: Legal Compliance for 2018

FLSA Chart

It's never been more important for you to track employees' time correctly and keep accurate records of those hours and minutes. Why?

  • Employee wage-and-hour lawsuits have exploded nationwide, up 400% in the past 15 years, fueled by new rules and bad recordkeeping. (see chart)
  • While Obama's proposed overtime salary threshold is dead, the threshold is still likely to increase in the next year or two. The new DOL chief supports a $10K increase to about $33,000.
  • All the recent media talk about overtime and pay discrimination has generated more employee interest (and lawsuits) about their right to overtime pay and their status (exempt vs. nonexempt? Independent contractor vs employee?).
  • A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling gives you fresh incentive to keep immaculate time records (employees can now use "sampling" to justify timekeeping lawsuits).
  • The outgoing Obama administration poured millions of additional DOL budget dollars into increased wage-and-hour enforcement, which means beefed-up workplace scrutiny. The Trump administration has not rescinded these enforcement initiatives.
