Dear Colleague:

You can’t afford to gamble with FLSA compliance.

The stakes are too high, from time wasted dealing with audits by regulators, to time spent by attorneys you must hire to defend lawsuits brought by employees.

That attorney time racks up fast at hundreds of dollars an hour. Then add the threat of whopping fines and judgments against you, and you’re looking at thousands of dollars … tens of thousands … even more.

It’s so much easier – and smarter – to get the Complete FLSA Compliance Toolkit and put it to work protecting your business. With a wealth of resources on a powerful CD, plus a printed guide for your convenience, the toolkit is a reference you’ll consult again and again to help resolve tricky issues about wage-and-hour laws.

If you’ve struggled to understand the Fair Labor Standards Act, you’re not alone. Sometimes it seems as if FLSA rules were designed to be confusing. Otherwise, why would it be so hard to determine:

  • Who gets overtime – and who doesn’t. For example, do you have to pay overtime even if an employee isn’t recording his or her hours correctly? Even if the overtime wasn’t authorized?
  • Who is a contractor – and who isn’t. How exactly do you determine if workers are employees? (Hint: Giving someone a 1099 does not magically turn him or her into a contractor.)
  • Who is still “at work” even when traveling – or merely on call. How about employees who are on break but covering the phones? Or those who didn’t come to work at all because your office was closed due to weather – do they get paid anyway?

Questions like these are a two-edged sword. You don’t want to pay more than you have to, but you don’t want to get into legal trouble, either. That’s why knowing the right answers is so important.

Order the Complete FLSA Compliance Toolkit with absolutely no risk. It’s the best way to reduce the risk you’re taking right now.

Would you rather continue whatever you’ve been doing – and not doing – with regard to FLSA compliance? It’s understandable. You simply want to get on with your business. All this wage-and-hour stuff is a pain.

But it’s a lot more painful to keep paying your employees more than you have to.

And the pain becomes excruciating when failure to comply leads to an audit, a fine or –the ultimate financial torture – a lawsuit.

Complete FLSA Compliance ToolkitYou’re even on the hook for your employees’ mistakes. An incorrectly completed timesheet can put you in harm’s way. Unfair but true.

That’s why you must know the FLSA rules and must be in compliance. So make it as easy as possible. Get the Complete FLSA Compliance Toolkit and start reducing your risk now.

Unfortunately, honest intentions are not enough. If you think you’re already doing your best to comply with all those complicated FLSA regulations, and that’s sufficient, I urge you to think again. As it says in the FLSA Compliance Guide included with your toolkit:

“Look at the Labor Department in the same light as the IRS. You can and should take every income tax deduction you’re entitled to, but not a penny more. If you overstep, the IRS will come after you.

“The DOL is no different. Pay workers what they’re entitled to while following the letter of the law. Don’t be tempted to give workers less than they’re legally due. Otherwise you can expect to pay a heavy price.”

Why not pay just a small price instead? Get the toolkit.

P.S. When you glanced through the Table of Contents above, did you notice the section on Related Court Rulings? The Fair Labor Standards Act was passed by Congress in 1938, and it’s been evolving (some would say mutating) ever since.

You can’t afford to rely on outdated knowledge of a law that can affect your business so severely. All the more reason to order the toolkit now.
