Wage and Hour Wednesday: Pay Considerations for Oil and Gas Industry Employers

In an opinion issued earlier this year, SCOTUS ruled in the Helix Energy Solutions v. Hewitt case that no matter how much an employee is paid, they do not qualify as a bona fide executive employee under the “highly compensated employees” FLSA exemption if the employee is paid on a daily rate basis, as a day rate does not satisfy the salary basis test applicable to that exemption.

During this presentation, we plan to offer alternatives for employers — especially those in the oil and gas industry, who often rely on this pay scheme for its high-ranking rig employees — to stay compliant with the FLSA following the Helix decision.
