FLSA, Employee Classification, and Pay Transparency: What HR Professionals Need to Get Right

Greater Baltimore SHRM 21st Annual Fall Conference
October 28, 2026 | Baltimore, MD

I presented at the Greater Baltimore Society for Human Resource Management’s 21st Annual Fall Conference, one of the region’s premier HR professional development events. The session covered the FLSA framework for non-exempt and exempt employees, common classification pitfalls, and the pay transparency requirements now in effect across Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia and included practical strategies for building a compliant, repeatable hiring process.

Attendees left with a framework for auditing their own classification and pay transparency practices across five key areas: classification, timekeeping, pay calculations, pay transparency disclosures, and documentation.
