As we enter into a new calendar year there are a lot of Department of Labor issues employers should be concerned with in handling employees. I am not going to cover all of them, but I do want to talk about several.
Employee classification
One of the biggest issues of 2017 will continue to be a major issue in 2018. Employee classification has multiple parts to it. First, misclassification of employees as exempt, thus denying them overtime earnings, will continue to be huge. This is not the issue of salary level, I will get to that in a minute, rather this is the issue of wrongfully classifying employees as exempt employees under the current standards.
