Recent Supreme Court cases show the federal government is cracking down hard on FLSA violations. And they aren’t always easy for payroll professionals to grasp. Take the case of Helix Energy Solutions Group Inc. v. Hewitt. The employer claimed an oil rig worker paid by a daily rate was exempt from overtime pay under the FLSA’s white-collar exemptions for highly compensated employees. The employee’s wages were over $200,000 yearly. The Court decided against the employer, ruling that the term “salary basis” excludes employee paychecks calculated solely based on a daily rate, even if the employee is considered “highly compensated.”

She’s written and edited leading payroll publications, including Business Management Daily’s Payroll Legal Alert, the Research Institute of America’s Payroll Guide, the American Payroll Association’s Basic Guide to Payroll, and the Payroll Manager’s Letter.
