Wage and Benefit Regulations

Course Project

Instructions
The purpose of this module is to help you develop the skills to anticipate and avoid potential pitfalls surrounding wage and benefit laws that affect your organization. This project provides the opportunity to demonstrate these skills. To complete this project, you will draw on your experience in a current or previous workplace. You may also research a company of interest to you.

  • In Part One, you will determine which positions in your current organization or a previous organization are exempt and which are nonexempt.
  • In Part Two, you will apply the leave regulations described in this module to the large and small organizations with which you interact in your community, business, or workplace.
  • In Part Three, you will assess the retirement and medical insurance benefits at both a large organization and a small organization.

Except as indicated, use this document to record all your project work and responses to any questions. At a minimum, you will need to turn in a digital copy of this document to your facilitator as part of your project completion. You may also have additional supporting documents that you will need to submit. Your facilitator will provide feedback to help you work through your findings.

Note: Though your work will only be seen by those grading the course and will not be used or shared outside the course, you should take care to obscure any information you feel might be of a sensitive or confidential nature.
