Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Compliance

With all of the demands placed on a busy HR Department, it is often difficult to update critical tools and processes.  We can supplement your work to address these issues.  We understand the difficulty with keeping your position descriptions and classifications up-to-date with the challenging interpretations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, other legal requirements, and the reality of day-to-day business demands. We can easily assist you with these projects.

How can we help your company comply with the FLSA?  We can:

• Articulate and apply your compensation strategy and create a base/incentive compensation structure.
• Evaluation your existing compensation program for areas of liability.
• Develop communications and training tools to rollout compensation programs.
• Evaluate your FLSA classifications to ensure that your positions are correctly classified as exempt or non-exempt. This includes the consistent use of position titles.
• Provide you with an Employer’s Guide to FLSA Exemptions- a succinct summary of the exempt classification guidelines.  This guide will help you understand the FLSA’s basic  requirements related to exempt and non-exempt classifications.

How can we support your position management initiatives? We can:  

• Help you design and redesign critical positions.
• Update your position descriptions. We can either develop a single job description to support a new position or evaluate and update all of your position descriptions. This may entail evaluating the primary duties and redefining position titles and responsibilities. 
• Assess the status of your independent contractors consistent with the Internal Revenue Service guidelines. 
• Develop a position management system that promotes consistency, compliance, and efficiency.

How can we support your performance management initiatives? We can:  

• Assess your business  processes/work flow to improve productivity.
• Help you develop a performance management approach that helps employees improve performance and reach established goals.
• Provide leadership development strategies that are based on collaboration and focused on accountability.
• Design performance evaluation systems that promote a higher quality of human capital.
