Understanding Compensable Time Issues for Nonprofits under the Fair Labor Standards Act

With wage and hour lawsuits continuing to outpace all other types of employment litigation for nonprofits (and others), it is critical for nonprofits to ensure that employees are properly compensated for all hours worked. How do you compensate work travel away from home? What about when your employees attend lectures, meetings and training programs? Do you need to compensate employees for on-call time at conferences and meetings? What about inclement weather or furloughs? And how to deal with permitting non-exempt employees to work through lunch or breaks during the day?

Get the answers to these questions and more from Grace Lee and Robert Friedman, who will help you navigate the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's many rules on compensable time, highlight common pitfalls to avoid in your workplace, and provide useful tools in addressing your nonprofit's wage and hour challenges.
