The guest speaker is Patrick Candoleta, assistant district director for the U. S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division in Guam.
This presentation is open to the public and will be an invaluable opportunity for employers and employees to learn more about the implementation of the increased minimum wage at the end of this month and the application of the Fair Labor Standards Act — also known as the Wages and Hours Bill — in the CNMI.
Candoleta will provide an overview of the FLSA and discuss important topics such as:
1) What is the Fair Labor Standards Act and how does it affect my business and employees?
2) What are the most common FLSA and compensation violations in the CNMI and Guam?
3) Who is exempt from the FLSA?
4) Does the CNMI minimum wage go up for everyone on Sept. 30?
5) What are legitimate deductions from employee wages and what must employees be paid for?
6) How should automatic service charges by employers be distributed to employees (i.e., waiters/waitresses)?
7) What are the consequences of violating the minimum wage increase and the FLSA?
The presentation includes lunch and the cost is $20 for SHRM members and $30 for non-members.
