Depending on interest and need, they can also address how to compute overtime for tipped employees, exemptions specific to different industries (e.g. auto dealerships, seasonal/recreational establishments/13(b)(1) drivers and loaders), comp time for government employees, exemptions for some types of employees compensated on commission basis, and more.
