The program will introduce a new (and fictitious) federal law that requires officers of corporations to certify, under individual criminal penalty, that all independent contractors are properly classified under federal, state and foreign law, and that all employees are properly classified for FLSA purposes, and parallel state and foreign laws. Work in small groups to do the following: Develop the outline of how they would go about assessing the legal risk to their organization based on existing practices; Develop a strategy for assessing additional resources needed to bring the organization into compliance, budget development, and management involvement; Develop a strategy for internal communications regarding the new requirements and methods for auditing compliance; Assess other needs associated with the operational impact of the law, including, but not limited to, possible organizational restructuring; and Create metrics, controls, and monitoring procedures for measuring the effectiveness of their compliance program.
