Section 14(c) of the FLSA authorizes employers, who apply for and receive certificates from the Wage and Hour Division, to pay special minimum wages—generally less than the federal minimum wage—to workers whose earning or productive capacity in the job they are performing is impaired by a physical or mental disability.
Training will cover topics including the certification process, performing prevailing wage surveys and conducting time studies. Participants will also learn about common compliance problems for Section 14(c) certificate holders, such as calculating commensurate wages and accurately tracking hours worked.
The seminar will also include a round-table discussion that will provide participants the opportunity to share the compliance challenges that they face, as well as their best practices developed to surmount these challenges.
There is no fee to attend this conference; however, space is limited.
