This month’s Small Business Roundtable, presented by R. Doug Taylor of Bean Kinney & Korman, will cover the changes in the labor law rules that have updated the salary threshold for the Fair Labor Standard Act’s (FLSA) exemptions from overtime, how to classify independent contractors in the current gig economy, and how to avoid off-the-clock work, to minimize your risks as an employer. With more labor law changes on the horizon, this session will arm you with critical information to both protect your business and enable your employees to succeed.
This event will be held on Wednesday, March 25 from 11:45 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at the Arlington Chamber of Commerce - VIDA Fitness Boardroom. Small Business Roundtable is free for members, but space is limited and advance registration is requested.

With the advent of the digital age, one-on-one conversation is becoming a thing of the past. With it has gone the fine art of listening — one of the most valuable tools for any relationship, both business and personal, using emails as a substitute for really listening and gathering feedback. In fact, if you fail to listen to your clients, you fall short in understanding their needs. That, in turn, can put you out of business — fast.
