    Program Description:

    This presentation invites attendees to engage in an explorative discussion on the hot-button topic of the minimum wage, which will address more than just the state, federal and local legislative trends impacting and shaping personnel decisions for human resource professionals. Counterbalancing the benefits of reduced employee turnover with the precipitous rise in labor expenses, our presenter outlines and analyzes the myriad of strategic recruitment and retention policies implemented by hiring managers in today’s workforce climate. After turning to the legal implications of misclassifications for exempt workers and the increased salary basis threshold, the presentation seeks to challenge how organizations and management answer the common question of when to designate employees as hourly or salaried. Directors, decision makers and newcomers alike are encouraged to share their experiences about the development of optimal personnel practices relating to entry and mid-level employees.
