About This Course:
Determining when employees are entitled to travel pay should be a simple matter, but in actual practice it's anything but. If you've been in HR for any length of time, you've probably wrestled with one or more of the following scenarios:
- What if employees travel between different job sites?
- What if their flights get cancelled and they are waiting around at or near the airport for several hours (or overnight)?
- What if a trip is part business and part pleasure (involving some vacation time) for an employee?
- How do you handle pay for non-exempts who travel at night or over the weekend, when they're technically off-duty?
- When must training time be compensated?
- How "on-call" does an employee really have to be for the time to be compensable? What should you do if the person is just hanging out at home with a cell phone at the ready?
- Under what circumstances is commuting to or from home compensable?
Join us for a webinar with Attorney Shannon Finley of Pettit Kohn on how to apply the federal FLSA rules to travel, training, and on-call pay for overtime-eligible employees, so that you can stay in compliance and out of court.
What You'll Learn:- Recognize key factors that determine when travel time or on-call time can be considered compensable work time
- Apply best practices for ensuring you've got it right when determining whether commuting time or travel during regular work hours qualifies as paid work time
- Identify whether travel between job sites is compensable under federal law
- Handle pay-related issues for employees who telecommute, either occasionally or full-time
- Correctly pay for on-call time-even if the employee isn't working during that time-and when you don't owe the worker any additional compensation
- Draft effective travel/overtime/on-call policies for your organization, so you're in compliance with the FLSA
