Calculating Overtime Correctly Under the Fair Labor Standards Act in 2025

Are you confident your business is calculating overtime correctly under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)? With recent legal shifts and ongoing updates, staying compliant in 2025 is more critical—and complex—than ever. Join our webinar to get the latest insights and practical strategies to ensure your payroll processes align with federal and state regulations.

In November 2024, a federal court struck down the U.S. Department of Labor’s 2024 Overtime Rule, reverting the salary threshold for exempt employees back to $684 per week ($35,568 annually) instead of the planned January 1, 2025, increase to $1,128 per week ($58,656 annually). But that’s not the full story—state laws, potential DOL appeals, and your business’s unique workforce all play a role. This webinar will break it down for you.

In this webinar, our speaker Susan Desmond, shareholder of Jackson Lewis P.C., will walk through the nuances of the FLSA and highlight the most frequent and costly mistakes employers are making. She will also discuss the employer/employee relationship under the FLSA, exemptions, what time is compensable and ways to decrease your overtime liability and much more.

Why Attend?

The FLSA governs overtime for millions of U.S. workers, and missteps can lead to costly penalties, back pay, and legal headaches. With the 2025 landscape shaped by the reverted 2019 thresholds (e.g., $684/week for exempt status, $107,432/year for highly compensated employees) and no automatic updates on the horizon, you need clarity now. This webinar equips you with the knowledge to:

Avoid compliance violations
