Legal Landmines: Exempt vs. Non-Exempt Employee Classification Issues

One of the fastest growing areas of employment litigation relates to employee claims of back wages and overtime for misclassified employees. Damages can run into the thousands and even millions of dollars, which could ultimately prove financially disastrous for a title company. Which employees are exempt and which are not? The U.S. Department of Labor has issued new guidance on the subject and Richard Andreano and Lindsey Weber, attorneys with the D.C.-based law firm Patton Boggs, will examine these new rules. Title company owners and managers should attend this session and learn how to stay on the right side of law and prevent potentially costly litigation against your operation.
