Determining when your information technology workers must be paid overtime, and when they should be classified as exempt, is a tricky business. And, as with all exemption status issues, a mistake could mean owing big bucks in back wages, attorneys' fees, and jury verdicts—not to mention a serious hit to workplace morale.

For straight answers on how to steer clear of trouble, join us on Feb. 18 for an in-depth 90-minute audio conference all about this complex topic. You'll learn:

• The common mistakes that can cost you big time when classifying your IT workers—and how to avoid them
• What "work requiring advanced knowledge" really means
• Which IT jobs seem like they should qualify for the professional exemption, but don't
• How to tell which computer professionals are entitled to overtime—and which are exempt
• The huge penalties you can face if you misclassify an IT worker
• Tips for auditing your current level of compliance
• What to do to minimize your exposure if you discover you've gotten it wrong—without triggering government audits or employee claims
