The UNC School of Government will be offering a two-day class, Introduction to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) on January 16 - 17 , 2024, at the School of Government in Chapel Hill. It will meet from 1 - 5 on Tuesday, January 16 and from 9 - 1 on Wednesday, January 17.

This class is meant to be a comprehensive introduction to federal wage and hour law. Topics to be covered include the salary-basis and salary-threshold tests, the duties tests for determining whether an employee is exempt or nonexempt, compensable time, overtime and comp time, use of the fluctuating workweek, the 207(k) exemption for law enforcement and firefighters, and the regular rate.

Who is this course meant for?

There are no prerequisites for this class. It is open to those who are new to the FLSA and its requirements. The class can be used a prerequisite for our Advanced FLSA Workshop.

This class covers the same material as the FLSA segment of Introduction to Public Employment Law (IPEL). If you have taken IPEL but feel you need some additional firming up on some of the core concepts, or a review after the passage of time, this would be a good course for you as well.

The course fee is $350.

This class will have some pre-reading and in-class assignments. To receive a certificate of completion from the School of Government, you must complete all the assigned work and participate in in-class breakout discussions.
