Overview :

Blended rate calculations — also referred to as Regular Rate of Pay (RROP) — can quickly become a payroll professional’s biggest headache. Although the concept seems simple on paper, applying it in real-world scenarios, especially when juggling multiple pay rates and overtime rules, often leads to confusion, errors, and compliance risks.

This webinar will take the mystery out of blended rates by clearly explaining when they’re necessary and how to calculate them accurately and efficiently.

Designed for payroll professionals, HR specialists, and finance teams, this session dives into the practical application of blended rate rules under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). With step-by-step examples and relatable scenarios, you'll gain clarity on weighted averages versus regular rates, overtime for multi-rate employees, and how to communicate these calculations to stakeholders outside of payroll.

Whether you're new to this concept or need a confidence boost in your current process, this session will leave you better equipped and empowered.
