Save the Date for Webinars Covering
DOL's New Overtime Pay/
Exempt Employee Rules


This is the topic every financial institution is talking about!

Virtually every community bank will be impacted.
 
The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division published the final rule revising regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act.  This implements the exemption from minimum wage and overtime pay for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and IT employees.  The new rules become effective December 1, 2016.
 
We're excited to announce the addition of the two webinars listed below.  These trainings will address the effect of these new rules and help you in planning, budgeting, and determining the available alternatives for employees who will no longer qualify as exempt from overtime pay.  The webinars will be presented by attorney and CPA, Elizabeth Fast, one of our most popular - and exclusive - speakers!
 
Will you be in compliance by the December 1 deadline?

Patch Management for PCI-DSS Compliance
 
Summer is here! Unlike the school year, PCI-DSS Compliance is an ongoing regulatory concern that does not get put on pause during the summer months. As you prepare for summer auditors, make sure you keep PCI-DSS Compliance top of mind!

WHAT IS PCI-DSS COMPLIANCE?

PCI (Payment Card Industry) - DSS (Data Security Standard) Compliance is all about enhancing payment card security and ensuring the safe handling of cardholder information. The framework for PCI-DSS involves prevention, detection and appropriate reaction to any security related incidents involving payment cards. In short, PCI-DSS Compliance is a set of standards used to keep payment card data protected from exploits.
