Good morning everyone! I am so excited about this amazing panel of experts.

Good Morning

Good morning Dana!

What are you all doing to combat fraudulent DOL claims and multiple claims? We have had over 150 fraudulent claims filed along with some former employees filing over 8 times. We can't reach any one at the DOL even when we have emailed and left multiple voicemails.

Good morning. Gas South is responding to each claimant's claim one time and keeping a record of the date and time we respond to the DOL. We are not going to respond more than one time per individual.

Good morning all! Thank you for joining us!

Katie, I will ask this question to the Commissioner of Labor Mark Butler.

Thank you- it's been really frustrating.

As a reminder everyone, please type your questions here to All panelists and Attendees! Thank you!

Yes we can provide a copy of the slides when we send the recording. Thank you!

Are outside sales people exempt from FLSA minimum salary requirements?

Awesome

Great insights Secret. Thanks for sharing. Watching this as my toddler sprints around the room, yelling and throwing Easter eggs at my head. :)

Excellent work David and Secret!

Thank you Tammy!

Great job, Tammy!!

Thank you Tammy - I hope we will hear more from you.

If a company needs to reduce salaries due to economic hardship and salary reductions put salaried employees below the FLSA federal minimum for exempt employees, will that cause those employees to lose their exemption? Can a company put those employees on hourly wages?

DOL has required employers to file a partial unemployment claim for employees furloughed. It's been nearly impossible to log in or get through on the phone. Mixed messages being heard. Are employers still required to file the partial claim or can employees file independently?

He's answering my question. HOWEVER, I have been unable to log in for my clients nor get through on the phone. What do we do?

We have been told to re-enter the partial claims for each applicable employee each week and we are doing that - very administratively heavy. Is this correct?

Lisa Hughes, we are doing the same. Weekly re-entering.

Thanks, Gaby. We are doing as told until we learn otherwise - better safe than sorry!

Commissioner Butler - thank you for all of the hard work of your staff. We have unfortunately had to work with your staff. They do return our calls even at 6:30 pm on a Friday night.

thank you John

Can Members of LLC Corporation - who receive K1s qualify for Unemployment Benefits?

Great ideas, Tammy!

As usual Tammy, you put the fun in everything. Thank you!

The way I've understood it, the child-care related reasons to the emergency sick leave act are the ones that businesses under 50 emp. *may* be exempt from. The way I read it, all emp under 500 emp must adhere to some version of the ESLA.

Thanks John and the rest of the panel. Heard some helpful information today.

Thanks so much Chamber and panelists. This is a great resource.

Thank you all!

Thank you to all the panelists!

amazing to be able to peek under the tent at what the HR professionals are dealing with now. They are heros
