We are excited to announce that Paul Dean, a local investigator with the Department of Labor (DOL), will speak at next week’s SHRM SWFL meeting about various wage/hour issues. No, we are not excited because our favorite group of HR professionals plans to throw food at Paul (if you’re reading this, Paul, we promise we won’t do that!). We are excited because this is an excellent opportunity for employers to learn straight from the DOL – the agency charged with enforcing the ever-changing and ever-dangerous wage/hour laws. Paul will address important issues that impact nearly all businesses, including exemptions from overtime, record-keeping requirements, deductions, and tip credit issues.

The meeting is Wednesday, August 12, 2015 at Crowne Plaza Bell Tower. Registration begins at 11:00. $21.00 for SHRM SWFL members, $25.00 for non-member. Click here to register: http://hrmaswfl.shrm.org/events. We hope to see you there!
