Chairwoman Eileen Edwards introduced Jay Fries of Kruchko & Fries to lead our employment law update.

Jay began with a review of the Fair Labor Standards Act revisions, which became effective August 23, 2004. Some changes were elimination of the long-term test and limits on required salary for exemptions. The definition of an administrative employee was discussed including the exercising of discretion and independent judgment. Salary based compensation was defined and the effects of deductions from salary were examined.

Jay then turned the discussion to affirmative action, sexual harassment, the Maryland Wage Payment Law and the implications of military personnel returning to work after serving.
