University Compliance. The Department of Labor (DOL) may choose to audit an employer’s payroll records for the following reasons: • It has received complaints by current or former employees; • It suspects or has determined that certain industries (grocery stores, manufacturers, school districts, etc.) may have wide-spread irregularities; or • The employer has been selected randomly. FLSA violations can seriously impact the financial health of the employer, as well as its reputation among its employees and the general public. Penalties typically take the form of: • Back pay and interest – Payments to the employee for any time that was not accurately reported as time worked, plus any applicable back overtime compensation and interest. These inquiries can go back a full 2 years. • Legal fees – Employer and plaintiff attorney fees, witness fees, etc. • Civil penalties – Fines up to $1,000 per violation (i.e., each workweek’s occurrence for each employee). • Criminal penalties – Fines up to $10,000 and/or six months imprisonment for willful, repeated violations. FLSA EXEMPTION FROM OVERTIME The FLSA categorizes all workers as either covered by the law and, therefore, subject to FLSA minimum wage and overtime provisions (“nonexempt”), or, exempted from the law and, therefore, not subject to the FLSA minimum wage and overtime provisions (“exempt”).
