In this economy, cutting overtime costs is likely a top priority for your organization. But simply cutting overtime increases your risk of decreased productivity and diminished morale. Plus, reduced staffing makes it more likely that exempt workers will start doing non-exempt duties, leading to their possibly being entitled to overtime pay.

If you're thinking about reducing overtime or have already started the process, don't take any more steps before attending our upcoming audio conference on November 13 all about reducing overtime in a strategic—and legally compliant—manner.

During our in-depth 90-minute webinar, specifically for California employers, our experts—a seasoned labor and employment attorney and an experienced HR consultant—will explain how to decrease overtime costs without sacrificing efficiency or productivity, and most importantly without stepping into potential legal pitfalls. You'll learn:

• Innovative and practical strategies for reducing overtime costs
• Legal traps to avoid in implementing cost-cutting strategies for reducing overtime pay
• The line managers' role in reducing over-time costs
• Scheduling changes that can reduce costs
• Technology-based time-and-attendance solutions to use so you know when work is actually being performed
