FLSA Overtime Compliance 2025

FLSA overtime regulations are growing more complex — and mistakes can be costly. Misclassifying employees, incorrectly calculating pay, or ignoring state-specific laws can result in penalties, back pay, and even lawsuits.

In 2025, the Department of Labor’s updated guidelines make compliance more important than ever. Whether you’re a small business or a growing enterprise, understanding the FLSA’s requirements helps protect your bottom line and avoid financial stress.

Top FLSA Mistakes to Watch Out For

✅ Misclassifying Employees — incorrectly treating nonexempt workers as exemption-eligible.
✅ Using Incorrect Calculations — not including incentives, commission, or bonuses in the regular rate of pay.
✅ Ignoring State-Specific Regulations — many states enforce their own wage-and-hour standards.
✅ Neglecting Proper Recordkeeping — poor documentation can undermine your defense in an audit or dispute.

How You Can Stay Compliant 

✅ Audit your team’s classifications.
✅ Adjust pay calculations to account for all pay components.
✅ Stay updated on employment legislation.
✅ Provide training for supervisors and payroll staff.

✅ Avoid penalties, protect your bottom line, and keep your workplace compliant.
FLSA regulations may be complex — but with careful preparation, you can manage them effectively.
