In recent years, there have been several changes to the laws regulating employee conduct. As an employer, you must be aware of these changes and ensure that your employees comply. This article will discuss some of the most important laws regarding employee conduct.
This rule, implemented in April 2017, requires employers to display certain Labor Law Posters in the workplace. The posters must be prominently displayed and accessible to all employees. In addition, the posters must include information on the rights of employees under federal law and contact information for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Employers who fail to comply with this rule may be subject to civil penalties of up to $1600 per violation.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that establishes minimum wage and overtime pay standards. The FLSA applies to most private sector employers and all public sector employers.
Under the FLSA, employees must be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked. In addition, employees who work more than 40 hours a week must be paid time-and-a-half for all overtime hours.
There are some exceptions to these general rules. For example, certain workers may be exempt from the overtime pay requirements. These exemptions include executive, administrative, and professional employees and certain highly compensated workers.
