2019 WORKSHOP SERIES PRESENTED BY:
The Biggest Wage & Hour Mistakes
Employers Make & How to Avoid Them
Wednesday, August 14th
9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
LOCATION:
Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce
Terrace Level
It is believed that over 80% of employers are unknowingly violating the web of wage and hour laws that govern their treatment of employees. At the same time, it is believed that the percentage of employees (and former employees) who know and understand their rights and are ready to speak up is rapidly increasing. As running afoul of wage and hour regulations can be very costly, even for those employers with the best intentions, employers must ensure that their wage and hour policies and procedures are compliant with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act as well as state wage/hour statutes.
Join us as we discuss some critical wage and hour issues that employers must understand, including:
- The three mandatory conditions that must be satisfied to classify someone as an exempt employee
- How to reduce your exposure to "working off of the clock" claims
- Navigating meal and rest break issues
- Options for paying employees who are on leave without creating wage and hour exposure
INSTRUCTOR:
Brad Adler, Freeman Mathis & Gary, LLP
COST:
Members: $25; after 8/7: $30
Future Members: $45

UGA SBDC at Kennesaw State
Accepting Applications for
this year's SBDC GrowSMART™ Program
An innovative exclusive program designed to help established
small business owners work ON their business, not just IN it.
The University of Georgia Small Business Development Center at Kennesaw State University (UGA SBDC at KSU) is accepting applications for its 2019 signature program GrowSMART™. This specialized program, designed for established business owners and leaders poised for break-out growth, consists of five day-long sessions from 9am - 4pm held on Wednesday, July 31, August 7, August, 14, August 27, and Thursday, August 29 at the KSU Center, 3333 Busbee Drive, Kennesaw.
"Whether in business for two years or twenty years, many small business owners are so busy working IN their business, they neglect working ON it. The success of the SBDC GrowSMART™ program is the result of its unique holistic approach. Entrepreneurs learn to analyze and manage their business like a seasoned CEO, discuss best practices among their peers and learn new strategies from experts in key functional areas", explains Drew Tonsmeire, Area Director of the UGA SBDC at KSU.
Georgia Power has sponsored UGA SBDC programs for growing businesses since 2002. Through their support of SBDC GrowSMART™, over 2,000 of Georgia's small business leaders have acquired the tools to take their businesses to a higher level.
