She consults with leading law firms and companies nationwide on state and federal class action wage and hour litigation cases across industries ranging from retail and beverage delivery to meat processing and gaming.
Ms. Arnold consults with clients to develop and implement research methodologies that address complex legal compliance issues, including misclassification (i.e., exempt vs. non-exempt employees, independent contractor), donning and doffing, off-the-clock work, missed meal and rest breaks, and tip pooling.

Ms. Arnold has advised clients on more than 150 cases in the wage and hour area of employment law. Her engagements often include national projects to determine the tasks and responsibilities of employees and to assess whether the work they perform is sufficiently similar to determine their appropriate status on a group basis under the executive, administrative, professional, and/or outside sales exemptions. Clients have used results from her studies at multiple stages of litigation, including mediation, class certification, and merit evaluation.

Event Synopsis:
On May 18, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) released its final rule updating the overtime threshold for the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Among other things, the revised overtime pay regulations increased the salary threshold for the white collar exemptions from $455 per week, or $23,660 per year to $913 per week, or $47,476 per year, with increase every three years thereafter. The new changes will take effect on December 1, 2016. In this light, employers must ensure that they have a clear understanding on how the final rule impacts them and their employees. Companies must review their current salary levels and compensation plans for all exempt employees and make sure that the new salary requirements are met.
In this two-hour live webcast, a panel of key thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will provide an overview to help you understand the key elements of the new DOL Overtime Regulations Under the FLSA. Speakers will also provide guidance on determining whether an employee is exempt under the new white collar exemptions.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
· Changes to FLSA Overtime Regulations
· Different exemption classifications
· Options for compliance with new regulations
· Recommendations for assessing and maintaining compliance
· Regulatory Penalties for Non-compliance
· Impact to Various Industries
